New Delhi : Delhi Police will file an additional chargesheet in the cash-for-votes scam today as the four-week deadline given by the Supreme Court to track the source of the money ends.
So far, the police has scanned 10 banks in Delhi, Gurgaon and Karnataka and examined each transaction above 10 lakhs in these banks. Sources have told NDTV that in its second chargesheet, the Delhi Police says the source of the money cannot be traced as all transactions are accounted for.
Sudheendra Kulkarni, former BJP advisor, was arrested on Tuesday in this case. Mr Kulkarni said he acted as a whistle-blower and a political activist in 2008 when he persuaded three BJP MPs to put themselves on the political market ahead of a trust vote for Dr Manmohan Singh.
Amar Singh was arrested earlier this month under the Prevention of Corruption Act but has been granted bail for medical reasons.
The Delhi Police has so far not disclosed the source of the money paid to the BJP MPs. It has also not elaborated on whose behalf Amar Singh may have been acting by bribing BJP MPs to support the government. The BJP has repeatedly said that because Dr Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi were the intended beneficiaries of Amar Singh's actions, they should explain the cash-for-votes scam.
