15 Oct 2012 Evaluate
The Delhi court on Monday ordered for further investigation on 2008 cash-for-vote scam on the plea submitted by former Bharatiya Janata Party MP Faggan Singh Kulaste, to trace out the source of money involved in the scam.  Regarding this, the court has given a span of 6 weeks for the reply to be filed.

Special Judge Sangita Dhingra Sehgal directed police to trace the source of money and conduct the probe from all possible angles. However, the investigating agency is reminded of their undertaking and the direction of Supreme Court of India contained in the order dated Sep 2, 2011 to find the source of money. Earlier, Kulaste’s counsel Anil Soni had made a request before the court for directing police in tracing a man wearing a yellow shirt, he was seen in the visuals of the sting operation of 22 July, 2008, the day of the scandal.  But the police in the charge sheet have failed to give any details of the man. 

On to this, Soni added that, in case if the man is not traceable, it can be inferred that he has been murdered so that the money trail could not be established and the source of money remains a secret.
