Cash-for-votes-scam: SC calls probe callous

July 15, 2011 11:18

News just coming in says the Supreme Court has slammed the Delhi Police for "callous" probe in 'cash-for-vote' scam. The SC said that no substantial progress was made in the case in the last two years and said it was, "Not happy at all" with the probe.

The SC has also asked the Delhi police for a fresh status report within two weeks.

The cash-for-votes scam had rocked India when money was allegedly paid to certain Lok Sabha members to secure their votes for a trust vote after the Left parties withdrew support to the United Progressive Alliance government on the India-US civilian nuclear deal.
