January 30, 2012 17:06

After quizzing two Union ministers in connection with the multi-crore Adarsh scam, the Central Bureau of Investigation has examined former Maharashtra chief minister Ashok Chavan, as the agency prepares to wrap up its probe in the housing society case.

According to sources in the probe agency in New Delhi today, Chavan was questioned by CBI sleuths in Mumbai early this month about his role in connection with Adarsh Housing Society during his tenure as state revenue minister and as the chief minister.

Chavan, who is an accused in the case, was the third politician to be examined by the CBI after Power Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde and Science and Technology Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh.

When contacted, Chavan refused to comment saying the matter was sub-judice.
