August 19, 2013 18:54

BJP leader L K Advani's former aide Sudheendra Kulkarni, an accused in the 2008 cash-for-vote scam, today told a court that the Delhi police had conducted a malafide investigation in the case in which his only role was to conduct the sting to expose "horse trading".

Kulkarni, one of the accused in the scam, told Special Judge Narottam Kaushal that police failed to conduct further probe in the case to expose "horse trading" that was allegedly going on to save the then UPA-I government in the vote of trust in the Lok Sabha on July 22, 2008.
