Mumbai, Feb 4 (IBNS) In a crucial development in the probe into the Adarsh housing scam, Maharashtra Governor C Vidyasagar Rao on Thursday gave his sanctions to the CBI to prosecute former Chief Minister of the state Ashok Chavan.

Earlier, Governor K Sankaranarayanan had denied permission to prosecute him.

Chavan was among the 13 people chargesheeted by the CBI in the Adarsh scam in July 2012.

Chavan had to resign as the Chief Minister after the Adarsh scam came to the fore in 2010 triggering a nationwide uproar.

He was the revenue minister when the state government approved allotment of 40 per cent flats.
