The officials of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday served notice to veteran Congress leader and former Chief Minister of Uttarakhand Harish Rawat. The investigative agency has asked Mr. Rawat, who is currently admitted at the Dehradun based Jolly Grant Hospital, to appear on November 6 to provide voice samples in connection with a case of bribery and horse trading.
Expressing shock over CBI officials issuing him a summon, Mr. Rawat took to social media and said that he was surprised by this act, given that he is hospitalised.
“On days when people come to the hospital to inquire about my health, the CBI came to issue me a summon. The agency must have felt that I pose a greater threat to the integrity, unity, security and democracy of the country, that is why they served me a notice in the hospital itself,” he added.
