Suhail Hindustani, who allegedly liaised between Amar Singh and BJP MPs who were bribed during the 2008 trust vote, appeared this morning before Delhi Police, for questioning. He alleged that the former SP leader was behind the operation to buy lawmakers.

Hindustani who arrived at the crime branch office in Chanakyapuri along with some supporters, was carrying a bouquet which he claimed was for a senior police official.

He said he wanted to express his ''profound'' gratitude to the force for proceeding with the probe.

Before he entered the police complex, Hindustani told reporters that he would tell the police whatever he had told the parliamentary committee which probed the infamous cash-for-vote scam.

According to Hindustani, who claimed he was earlier a BJP youth wing Yuva Morcha member, the operation was executed by Amar Singh with some Congress leaders. He said police should examine his call records, which he claimed would throw light on who all called him between 9 and 22 July, 2008.

He alleged that Singh and some Congress leaders were constantly in touch with him.
