New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has asked former Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) governor Satya Pal Malik to answer certain queries in connection with an alleged insurance scam in the Union Territory (UT), officials said Friday. Reacting to the development, Malik said Friday that the CBI has asked for his presence at the agency’s Akbar Road guesthouse here for ‘certain clarifications’.
“They want certain clarifications for which they want my presence. I am going to Rajasthan so I have given them dates from April 27 to 29 when I am available,” Malik informed. The CBI had examined Malik in connection with the alleged scam last year.
In April last year, the CBI lodged two FIRs over corruption allegations levelled by Malik in the awarding of contracts for a group medical insurance scheme for government employees and civil work worth Rs 2,200 crore related to the Kiru hydroelectric power project in Jammu and Kashmir.
