The probe into the money trail in the cash-for-vote scam
has led the Delhi police to tell a court here that there was no “abnormal
withdrawal” from the bank accounts of Rajya Sabha MP Amar Singh ahead of the
July 2008 trust motion faced by the Congress led UPA-I government.
The Crime Branch of Delhi Police also said “detailed
efforts” made to link the currency notes waved in the Lok Sabha have failed
till now.
“There is no abnormal withdrawal from the accounts of
accused Amar Singh. Detailed efforts have been made to link the money trail but
there is system in the banks to record the number of currency notes at the time
of payment to the customers,” the police said in its supplementary charge sheet
filed before Special Judge Sangita Dhingra Sehgal.
The charge sheet, which gave details of the bank accounts
held by Singh and his wife Pankaja Kumar Singh, has not added any other person
as accused in the fresh charge sheet.
Police gave details of four bank accounts of Singh in the
charge sheet from June 1 to July 31, 2008 to ascertain whether the money
displayed in the Lok Sabha during the trust vote on July 22, 2008 had come from
his account or not.
During the period, the maximum amount withdrawn from Mr.
Singh’s four bank accounts in Royal Bank of Scotland, Yes Bank, State Bank of
India and United Bank of India, was only Rs. 5.17 lakh, the police said in its
charge sheet.
