New Delhi, September 6
A narco-analysis test conducted in 2003 on fake stamp paper scam kingpin Abdul Karim Telgi, aired by TV channels today, sought to link Union Minister Sharad Pawar and Maharashtra PWD Minister Chhagan Bhujbal, who vehemently denied any involvement in the case.
In the CDs of the test conducted in Bangalore, Telgi purportedly named Mr Pawar and Mr Bhujbal whom he claimed to have made payments.
Terming the reports as “irresponsible and baseless”, Mr Pawar stated that: “There is no need to take any cognisance of what a criminal has said. I am told that the tests on Telgi were carried out three-four years back and after that the investigating agencies have carried out their probe. No one at any time made any inquiries with me. I was also not in the government at that time.”
Mr Bhujbal spoke in similar vein.
