"The Congress president has advised the Karnataka chief minister to hand over the inquiry into IAS officer DK Ravi's death to the CBI," party general secretary and in charge of Karnataka Digvijay Singh said.
Earlier in the day, facing rising public anger over the mysterious death of an upright IAS officer with growing calls for a CBI probe, Siddaramaiah met governor Vajubhai Val and briefed him about the developments in the case.
Hundreds of people in the state held protest rallies on Friday demanding justice for the deceased officer.

"I have met the governor. I have explained him about the developments in Ravi's case till date," Siddaramaiah told reporters after meeting the governor at Raj Bhavan.
He said, "The governor has heard what we have explained to him; we have told him investigation is going on and investigation has been handed over to CID."
There has been a clamour for CBI probe from opposition parties and the family of Ravi, who was found hanging from a ceiling fan at his flat on Monday.Stepping up pressure, BJP and JD(S) MLAs had marched in a procession from Vidhana Soudha, the state secretariat, to the Raj Bhavan on Thursday and requested governor to advise the Siddaramaiah government to refer the case to CBI.

Home minister KJ George had made it clear after a cabinet meeting on Thursday that there was no change in the stand of the government, which has come under attack from the opposition and others for "stonewalling" central probe.
Speaking to reporters, JD(S) leader and former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy charged the Congress government with trying to hush up truth behind the case by raking up the personal life of Ravi and dragging the name of a woman IAS officer who was his batchmate into the issue.
