CID to deal with cake controversy

The cake controversy takes an interesting turn when the Kamrup Chief Judicial magistrate on Wednesday ordered CID to probe the allegations of disregarding the national tricolour by cutting and consuming a cake made in its shape by Chief Minister, his wife at a function at the Raj Bhawan.

The CJM court issued the order as it was hearing a petition moved in the court by lawyer and AIUDF HRA Chaudhury recently. It may be noted that Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi, his wife Dolly Gogoi and Governor J B Patnaik cut the cake and consumed at a function on the Republic day at the Raj Bhawan which invited sharp reactions in several quarters.
