Cash-For-Vote : Arun Jaitley May Be Called As Witness

New Delhi, Oct 7: Senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley may be examined by the Delhi police as a prosecution witness to ascertain whether BJP was aware that its three MPs were approached to influence voting in the 2008 trust vote, a local court was told today.

"We have examined Arun Jaitley and there is note in the police case diary about it. We have given his statement in the charge sheet. When the trial would begin, we might need to call Arun Jaitley in the witness box, if needed," Public prosecutor Rajiv Mohan told Special Judge Sangita Dhingra Sehgal.

Opposing the bail pleas of BJP leader L K Advani's former close aide Sudheendra Kulkarni and two former BJP MP Faggan Singh Kulaste and Mahabir Singh Bhagora in 2008 cash-for-vote case, Mohan said their alleged failure to inform senior party office bearers immediately after receiving Rs one crore money, raises doubt about the sting operation.
