A high-level investigation has been ordered after a cash bundle was found on the Rajya Sabha seat of Congress MP Abhishek Singhvi. The high-level committee that will oversee the probe will include officials from security agencies, the Rajya Sabha Secretariat, and senior MPs.
Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar told the MPs this morning that the cash bundle – of Rs 500 notes amounting to a total of Rs 50,000 – was found after the House was adjourned last evening. Mr Singhvi has clarified that he had never heard of such a thing, suggesting that bundle wasn’t his.
