Nationalist Congress Party president Sharad Pawar on Thursday said the Maharashtra government should seek help from central investigative agencies in the multi-crore fake stamp paper racket even as he praised the state's police for their thorough investigation.
The NCP is a major partner in the Democratic Front government in Maharashtra.

However, Pawar said, "it would not be proper to take it (the probe) away from the state police and hand over the matter to the CBI as it may affect their morale. The matter is before the high court, which may also give a direction in this regard."
He denied NCP leader and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Chhagan Bhujbal involvement in the scam.
"If anybody in the NCP is found involved in the scam, the party would take action against him," Pawar said.
