“No one should point a finger at me. So, I have sought a second opinion on the matter,” Bais told a local channel in Raipur late on Wednesday.

“I don’t take any action on the basis of vindictiveness or to defame anyone. I hold a constitutional position and it’s my duty to uphold the Constitution,” he added.
