Shimla police questions BJP leaders and former MLAs in 'horse trading' case
The Daily Guardian|August 24, 2024
Shimla Police questioned several BJP leaders and former MLAs on Friday in connection with an alleged horse-trading case linked to the Rajya Sabha elections. Among those summoned were former MLAs Davinder Bhutto, KL Thakur, and Rajinder Rana, who appeared before the Boileauganj Police Station.

Rakesh Sharma, the father of former Congress legislator Ashish Sharma, was also called in for questioning.

Speaking to the media, BJP leader Rajinder Rana described the allegations as baseless. He stated, "There is a significant difference between making an allegation and proving it. I am 58 years old, and until now, no one has filed a complaint against me in any panchayat or police station. This is my first time at a police station. We are here to cooperate with the investigation, but allegations alone don't prove guilt."
