Both the cases are being monitored by the High Court that had directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to investigate.
Thakur said the mafia working in the state would be dealt with a strong hand.
Reiterating his commitment to zero tolerance for corruption, he said his government’s priority would be to provide a clean administration.
He sought the support and cooperation of the opposition to eliminating mafia operating in the drugs, forest, mining and liquor sectors.
The four-day winter session of the Assembly was adjourned sine die later in the day.
