CBI on Monday examined Lt Gen (retd) Tejinder Singh and Vectra Chairman Ravinder Rishi for the second consecutive day in connection with its probe in the alleged bribe offer made by the retired general to the then army chief V K Singh for clearing a tranche of sub-standard Tatra BEML trucks.
Singh, however, denied he had been questioned by the CBI today and claimed that it will be known in the coming days as to why ‘someone’ was raking up this issue one and a half years after the deal.
‘I have not been called by CBI today. Investigation will reveal that I am not involved and also the reasons for someone raking it up one and a half years after the alleged incident,’ he said in reply to an SMS sent for his reaction.
