New Delhi: Sudheendra Kulkarni, former aide of senior BJP leader LK Advani has arrived in Delhi. Kulkarni has been chargesheeted by Delhi Police in the cash-for-votes scam in July 2008.
Mr Kulkarni was out of the country when he was summoned.
The Supreme Court had given him till Tuesday to appear in connection with the case. Mr Kulkarni had earlier informed the court that he was in the US for his daughter's admissions.
The cash-for-votes scam as it is known has two leading roles. On one hand, there's Mr Singh who has been accused of bribing three BJP MPs and has been charged with abetment and criminal conspiracy under the Prevention of Corruption Act. According to the Delhi Police, Mr Singh walked into a trap carpentered by Sudheendra Kulkarni. Mr Kulkarni, according to the police's chargesheet, fancied himself as a whistleblower who decided to expose the UPA government's willingness to buy support for its trust vote. So he enlisted three MPs to market themselves to potential political buyers. Mr Singh allegedly rose to the occasion. Mr Kulkarni has also been chargesheeted for "inducement" of bribes and corruption.
