Harish Rawat quizzed by CBI in sting CD case
The Central Bureau of Investigation, which questioned Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat on Tuesday on the alleged sting operation that showed him offering bribes to MLAs, said he has been called for another round of questioning as “he could not furnish complete details on many issues”.
The agency, however, refused to divulge the issues on which the Chief Minister allegedly did not share full details. While the CBI did not reveal when he has been summoned again, Mr. Rawat said he has asked to join the probe on June 7.
Emerging from the CBI headquarters after four hours of questioning, Mr. Rawat told the media that he was cooperating in the investigation, that his party Congress had also directed him to do so.
“I have not committed any crime, nor do I have to submit any proof. I have never indulged in horse-trading and not even said that I need any MLA,” he said.
The Chief Minister alleged that he was being blackmailed by a journalist.
