The entire Opposition members also trooped into the well in support of their demand for a CBI probe to unravel the facts.

The Question Hour continued despite the furore created by the Opposition members, however, the Government’s replies were not properly audible.
After the Question Hour, Speaker Uday Narayan Choudhary requested the Opposition members to resume their seats. The opposition members, reoccupied their chairs but the House again plunged into the bedlam when the Speaker rejected the adjournment motion moved by RJD members Samrat Choudhary and Bhai Virendra, They were demanding a debate on the issue through adjournment motion.
Deputy Chief Minister and State Finance Minister Sushil Kumar Modi said that the Opposition’s demand for a CBI probe into the matter of non-submission of DC bills is based on no firm ground as the Patna High Court had already rejected the demand and the matter was pending with the Supreme Court.
