New Delhi, Nov 3 (ANI): Former Samajwadi Party leader and Rajya Sabha MP Amar Singh, facing prosecution for his alleged role in the 2008 cash-for-vote scam, was on Thursday allowed by a Delhi court to go abroad for treatment of his kidney ailment.
Special Judge Sangita Dhingra Sehgal allowed Singh to go to Singapore from November 8 to November 30.
Singh had moved the court early this week for its permission to go abroad.
In his application, he said he has been undergoing treatment at Singapore's Mount Elizabeth Hospital following his kidney transplant and he needs to go there for regular check-up.
The Delhi High Court had on October 24 granted bail to him in the 2008 cash-for-vote case, but restrained him from leaving the country without its permission.
While granting bail to Singh, who was undergoing treatment at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) under judicial custody, the court asked him to furnish a personal bond of Rs 50 lakh and two sureties of like amount.
The cash-for-votes scam had rocked proceedings in the Lok Sabha in 2008, when the ruling UPA Government, led by Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, allegedly bribed lawmakers of other parties to help wining the confidence vote. (ANI)
