Amar Singh questioned by Police in cash for votes scam
NEW DELHI: At last Amar Singh has been interrogated by the Delhi Police on Friday over his alleged role in the ‘cash-for-votes’ scam.
The interrogation was lasted for 3 hours today, but the police sources said they are likely to call the former Samajwadi Party leader again next week.
Source said, “Police need to first interrogate others. They also need time to corroborate his statement with what others have said.”
The police claim it has got evidence that links Amar Singh to one of the two men arrested for trying to bribe three BJP MPs.
On July 22, 2008 these MPs stormed into the Lok Sabha, waving bundles of cash, and hours before Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s trust vote. They claimed they had been offered a crore by men acting on behalf of Mr Singh, a Rajya Sabha MP. The PM won the vote.
