Panaji, July 27 - NSUI today gave deadline of seven days to Goa government to hand over the drug nexus case to central bureau of investigation (CBI). “We have submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister Digamber Kamat giving him seven days deadline to hand over the case to CBI.

NSUI - the students wing of Congress has been vehemently demanding CBI inquiry into the police-politician-drug nexus case.
