Cash for votes: Amar Singh, Sudheendra Kulkarni and others acquitted

A special anti-corruption court in Delhi has acquitted Rajya Sabha member Amar Singh, former BJP leader Sudheendra Kulkarni and three other BJP leaders in the sensational cash for votes scam. These people were arrested by the Delhi Police in 2011 on the charges of trying to bribe the MPs to vote for the government during a trust vote on Nuclear deal in 2008. However Amar Singh's alleged aide Sanjeev Saxena was charged for abetting corruption. While discharging Amar Singh, the court ruled that there was no direct or indirect evidence against him but mere suspicions.
