The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday examined former Jammu & Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik as a witness in connection with a group health insurance scheme case.
“A CBI team went to Mr. Malik’s Delhi residence around noon and examined him for about five hours as a witness,” said a CBI official. The agency had earlier recorded his statement in October last year.
Mr. Malik told The Hindu on phone: “They were inquiring about the insurance scheme which I had cancelled...I told them the truth.” The CBI had recently contacted him for some clarifications in the case, days after the Opposition parties targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the charges he had made during an interview with journalist Karan Thapar for The Wire.
