New Delhi: The police is closing in on errant MPs who were involved in the human trafficking case. Two MPs appeared before the police on Monday and were grilled over their role in the emigration racket.
BSP MPs Ashok Kumar Rawat and Mitrasen Yadav, whose names cropped up during the interrogation of Sunder Lal Yadav, an alleged conduit arrested in the case, were grilled separately by the Crime Branch officials after they presented themselves in response to their notice, a report in news agency PTI stated.
However, other two MPs, Mohammed Tahir Khan of the BSP and BJP's Ramswaroop Koli, did not turn up for questioning despite being summoned by the investigators and the police said it will send notices to them again. Police had earlier summoned them twice.
Investigators sought to know whether the MPs knew Sunder Lal Yadav, a Hyderabad-based travel agent, who is also under the scanner of the Delhi Police and arrested by the Andhra Pradesh police last week in connection with a passport forgery case there.
Yadav had dropped a bombshell by telling a court here last month that he had introduced travel agents to the MPs, adding a new twist to the high-profile human trafficking case which came to light after the arrest of BJP MP Babubhai Katara.
