The city police on Friday submitted to a Delhi court a
supplementary charge sheet in the 2008 cash-for-vote scam which deals with its
efforts to trace the source of money allegedly paid to the three erstwhile BJP
MPs to get their votes in favour of the Congress-led UPA-I government’s trust
motion.
Public Prosecutor Rajiv Mohan submitted to the court that
that though they have completed their investigations in some aspects of the
case, their overall probe into the scam is not yet complete.
He said the police are still awaiting Lok Sabha Speaker’s
sanction to prosecute BJP MP Ashok Argal.
The supplementary charge sheet was filed in the court of
Special Judge Sangita Dhingra Sehgal by the Crime Branch of Delhi Police.
It contains no new names as the accused and is in
continuation with the investigations carried out earlier before filing the
first charge sheet on August 24, the prosecutor said.
He added the supplementary charge sheet also contains
bank statements of some of the accused as annexure.
The Delhi Police had, in its first charge sheet, accused
Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh and L.K. Advani’s former aide Sudheendra
Kulkarni of “conspiring” and “masterminding” the cast-for-vote scam to bribe
some MPs ahead of a confidence vote in Lok Sabha in 2008.
It had also named two former BJP MPs Faggan Singh Kulaste
and Mahabir Singh Bhagora along with Sanjeev Saxena, former aide of Amar Singh
and Suhail Hindustani, alleged BJP activist, who are in judicial custody.
