New Delhi, Aug 5 (ANI): The Supreme Court on Friday pulled up the Delhi Police for its shoddy probe of the 2008 cash-for-vote scam.
"It is a half-hearted attempt by you (Delhi police). You must take it to the logical conclusion," said an apex court bench of Justices Aftab Alam and R M Lodha.
The Supreme Court has asked the Delhi police to submit its final report within three weeks.
"It is so disgusting that a middle man of the cheapest kind had been allowed to interfere with Parliamentary proceedings and he had succeeded," said the apex court bench.
Delhi Police filed a comprehensive status report in the apex court on Thursday on its probe into the cash-for-votes scam.
Police filed the report on the direction of the apex court, which had expressed its dissatisfaction during the last hearing on July 15 with the probe into the case.
"We are not happy at all with probe done by the Delhi Police. This is not the way to prove the offence of such serious nature. No substantial progress has been made in two years. We are really concerned. Investigation must move fast and it must be brought to its logical conclusion," said an apex court bench headed by Justice Aftab Alam on July 15.
Notes-for-vote or cash-for-votes scandal is an alleged scandal in which the United Progressive Alliance led by Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh openly bribed Members of Parliament in cash or currency-notes to the tune of multi-millions to survive its very first confidence vote on July 22, 2008 in the Lok Sabha after the Communist Party of India (Marxist)-led Left Front withdrew support over the Indo-US nuclear deal.
