Cash-for-votes: Amar Singh, BJP MP chargesheeted

Wednesday, August 24, 2011: The Delhi Police on Wednesday chargesheeted Amar Singh, Ashok Argal, Mahaveer Bhagoda, Phagan Singh Kulaste, Sudheendra Kulkarni, Sanjeev Saxena and Sohail Hindustani in the cash-for-votes case.
The police has asked for the sanction of the Lok Sabha Speaker to chargesheet Ashok Argal as he is a sitting BJP MP.

Delhi Police will file the status report in the Supreme Court on September 2.
The police on August 18 told a Delhi court that the probe in the 2008 cash-for-vote scam was nearing completion and it would file the chargesheet before it on August 25.
The crime branch of Delhi Police told Special Judge Sangita Dhingra Sehgal that the probe report, in pursuance of the direction of the Supreme Court, would be filed soon.
Earlier, the apex court had slammed Delhi Police for giving a clean chit to politicians and for its ‘half-hearted and hopeless’ probe into the scam.
The Supreme Court had asked the police to take their probe to the logical conclusion and submit a final report in three weeks.
