New Delhi, Sep 30: The probe into the money trail in the cash-for-vote scam has led the Delhi police to tell a court here that there was no “abnormal withdrawal” from the bank accounts of Rajya Sabha MP Amar Singh ahead of the July 2008 trust motion faced by the Congress led UPA-I government.
The Crime Branch of Delhi Police also said “detailed efforts” made to link the currency notes waved in the Lok Sabha have failed till now.
“There is no abnormal withdrawal from the accounts of accused Amar Singh. Detailed efforts have been made to link the money trail but there is system in the banks to record the number of currency notes at the time of payment to the customers,” the police said in its supplementary charge sheet filed before Special Judge Sangita Dhingra Sehgal.
The charge sheet, which gave details of the bank accounts held by Singh and his wife Pankaja Kumar Singh, has not added any other person as accused in the fresh charge sheet.
Police gave details of four bank accounts of Singh in the charge sheet from June 1 to July 31, 2008 to ascertain whether the money displayed in the Lok Sabha during the trust vote on July 22, 2008 had come from his account or not.
During the period, the maximum amount withdrawn from Singh's four bank accounts in Royal Bank of Scotland, Yes Bank, State Bank of India and United Bank of India, was only Rs 5.17 lakh, the police said in its charge sheet. PTI
