The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed a plea for a CBI probe into an alleged "honey-trap" attempt involving a minister and other politicians in Karnataka.

A three-judge bench of Justices Vikram Nath, Sanjay Karol, and Sandeep Mehta dismissed the PIL filed by social activist Binay Kumar Singh.

The plea had also sought the probe to be either monitored by the top court or by a committee headed by a retired Supreme Court judge.

Advocate Barun Kumar Sinha, appearing for the petitioner, said the allegation reported in the media required a thorough investigation against the persons behind it.
