NEW DELHI: The report of the Enquiry Committee over the alleged cash-for-vote scam during the July 22 trust vote was tabled in the Lok Sabha on Monday.
The report gave a clean chit to Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh, citing "no direct evidence to link him with the scam".
According to PTI, the seven-member committee was set up by Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee after three BJP MPs ��� Ashok Argal, Fagan Singh Kulaste and Mahavir Bhagora ��� waved wads of currency notes in the House, alleging that huge sums were offered to them to save the Manmohan Singh government.
While Argal and Kulaste have appeared before the panel, Bhagora could not do so as he was suffering from a heart ailment.
Samajwadi Party MP Reoti Raman Singh, BJP activist Sudheendra Kulkarni, Amar Singh's alleged aide Sanjeev Saxena and Suhail Hindustani, who was seen in the CD released by a TV channel which conducted the sting operation, and representatives of the channel have also deposed before the Committee.
