CD tangle: Probe panel records Yadav’s statement


Raipur, July 05, 2012

The NSUI’s two-member probe committee on Thursday recorded Devendra Yadav’ statement into his controversial CD issue that had eventually compelled him to tender resignation. The panel members held talks with Yadav at Congress Bhawan and took his statement in written.
“I was interrogated for about 15-20 minutes. I put my stance and demanded forensic test on audio and video clippings of the CD,” said Yadav after meeting the probe panel members.
Earlier, both the panel members – NSUI’s national general secretary Bhushan Penchalwar and party’s Punjab legislator Kuldeep Nagra reached Raipur on Thursday morning.
Notably, the two have been assigned task by the organisation’s national head Rohit Choudhary to elicit facts behind the controversial CD that allegedly shows Yadav demanding fund from a businessman for an event of Rahul Gandhi at Raipur.
The panel members spent about three hours (from 12-3 pm) at Congress Bhawan and talked to several NSUI and PCC leaders besides Yadav.
They also held talks with PCC president Nandkumar Patel and CLP leader Ravindra Choubey pertaining to the matter. Since Patel has been to his hometown, the panel members talked to him over phone while met Choubey at his residence.
According to information, the panel members reportedly sought information from Patel and Choubey about the state NSUI functioning and regarding specific faction’s predominance in the organisation.
Since Yadav has already said that his organisational rivals had brought forth the fake CD to malign him, the probe panel is likely to take into serious consideration the ‘predominant faction factor’ in state unit. 
The panel members also talked to Mova police where Naim Siddiqui had lodged complaint of loot against Yadav. They collected information regarding CD from the police and learnt that Siddiqui was disappearing ever since he had lodged report. The police told the panel members that they had even summoned Siddiqui to record his statement but he did not turn up.
The panel members returned to New Delhi on Thursday evening. They are likely to submit their report in three days to the NSUI national chief.
