The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has reportedly questioned Congress leader Hiby Eden, MP, as part of its probe into a sex-for-patronage scandal during the tenure of the previous Oommen Chandy government.
By one account, the CBI interrogated the MP in a Central government facility in Ernakulam.
The investigation has arguably come at an inopportune moment for the Congress, which is locked in a tight electoral fight with the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] in the byelection for the Thrikkakara Assembly constituency.
