New Delhi, September 10: The CBI today recorded the statement of Buta Singh, Chairman for the National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC), in connection with a bribery case involving his son.
The former Union Minister and former Governor had informed the Delhi High Court on August 31 that he would appear before the investigating agency only after it clarified that he is required as a witness and not as an accused in the case.
Singh, who had earlier struck a defiant note saying CBI has no authority to question a Constitutional functionary having powers of a civil court, without Centre’s sanction, made the statement before a two-member CBI team at his NCSC office in the Lok Nayak Bhavan here.
