No evidences against Amar in cash-for-vote case

The Parliamentary Standing Committee headed by V Kishore Chandra Deo, probing the alleged Parliament cash-for-vote scam has found no evidence against Samajwadi Party general secretary Amar Singh and Congress Leader Ahmed Patel.

The committee has recommended a CBI probe into the case and has suggested the case needs to be investigated further.

Final meeting of the committee is scheduled to be held on October 17.

The Parliamentary Committee was probing allegations by three BJP MPs Ashok Argal, Faggan Singh Kulaste and Mahavir Bhagora, that they were offered money to back the Manmohan Singh government in the crucial trust vote on July 22.

On September 25, the cash-for-vote scam kicked up another drama when Amar Singh, under a cloud for his alleged role in the scandal, claimed that he was being blackmailed by a BSP worker who demanded Rs 5 crore to change his version before the Parliamentary panel probing the matter.
