Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) sources said on Saturday that they would be questioning National Commission for the Scheduled Castes Chairman and former Union Home Minister Buta Singh in connection with the Rs 1 crore bribery case involving his second son Sarabjot Singh.
Sources said that Sarabjot Singh had told the CBI after his arrest, that he had informed his father about ‘settling’ the complaint against Nashik civic works contractor Ram Rao Patil that had been lodged with the National Commission for Scheduled castes.
The CBI has said that they need constitutional sanction to question Buta Singh, and once that is given, they plan to invoke Section 7 and 9 of the Prevention against Corruption Act (PCI) against the former minister.
Sarabjot was arrested on July 31 along with Anup Kumar Begi, Madan Singh Solanki and Dhukh Singh Chauhan for allegedly demanding a bribe of Rs one crore from Patil to close a case registered against him under the SC/ST Act. Later he was sent to CBI custody till August 5 along with three other persons arrested.
