New Delhi, April 21: The CBI has called former Governor of Jammu and Kashmir and Meghalaya, Satya Pal Malik, seeking more information in an alleged corruption case. The case pertains to a health insurance scheme that he was allegedly pushed to pass but had cancelled when he was the Governor of the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir.
Malik had claimed that he was offered a Rs 300 crore bribe for clearing the files during his tenure as J&K Governor between August 23, 2018 and October 30, 2019.
According to a source, the CBI has asked Malik to appear before the agency either on April 27 or April 28. The CBI officials can also approach him on either days. The source said that as of now, it appears that Malik might join the CBI at its headquarters in the national capital.
It is learnt that if merit is found in the claims made by Malik, the CBI might lodge a case, otherwise it won’t. (IANS)
