Samajwadi Party MP Rewati Raman Singh was today questioned in connection with the 2008 cash-for-vote scam by Delhi Police, which is set to now quiz BJP lawmaker Ashok Argal in connection with the case this evening.

A senior police official said the Crime Branch team led by Deputy Commissioner of Police Ashok Chand grilled Rewati Raman for about 90 minutes while Argal will be questioned later this evening.

Argal will be the fifth person to be quizzed in the past 10 days after the Supreme Court came down heavily on investigators for carrying out a shoddy probe.

Rewati Raman, the 68-year-old Allahabad MP, said he told police what he told the Parliamentary panel which looked into the scam.

 

“The case is before Supreme Court now. I want the conspiracy behind the whole episode exposed,” he told reporters.
