New Delhi, Jul 23: Former Samajwadi party leader Amar Singh who was taken in for questioning by the Delhi police on Friday July 22 in connection to the cash-for-vote scam was reportedly grilled for almost three hours at the Crime Branch headquarters before he was let off.
Singh outrightly denied all charges made by the other key players in the scam who have already been arrested - Sanjeev Saxena and Suhail Hindustani. Both Saxena and Hindustani alleged that Singh was the main mastermind of the whole episode.
He also denied any knowledge of a Congress hand or where the cash shown by the bribed BJP MPs at the parliament came from.
On being asked if he ever meet Suhail Hindustani, the middle man who got the BJP MPs to Samajwadi party before or after July 22, Singh denied meeting him ever. However, he did admit that Saxena used to work for him earlier. But apart from that he claimed not to have given any money to anyone.
Even after the interrogation several questions still remain unanswered. Who is the man named Singh ji that Saxena made the BJP MPs speak to in the tape? How Did Saxena get cash worth almost Rs 1 crore in a short span of time? And who made the first move? Was it the BJP MPs out to entrap the UPA or was it the UPA that was on a buying spree?
The Crime Branch will call Amar Singh again in the first week of August. Before that, the BJP MPs who allegedly took the money and LK Advani's former key Aide Sudheendra Kulkarni are also to be questioned.
