Amit Jogi planned sting on Judeo: CBI

In the cash-on-camera expose involving former Union minister Dilip Singh Judeo, the CBI has told the Supreme Court that the operation was planned by Amit Jogi with a “motive to derive political mileage in favour of Ajit Jogi” ahead of the polls.

In an affidavit to a petition filed by Bhupinder Patel alias Rahul for quashing the case against him, the CBI said, “During/around July 2003, Amit Jogi, son of Ajit Jogi, then chief minister of Chhattisgarh, hatched a plan with Rajat Prasad, Arvind Vijaymohan and the petitioner, to video-record Dilip Singh Judeo in the act of receiving the bribe.”

“This plan was aimed to disgrace Judeo, who was a political leader from Chhattisgarh, just prior to Assembly election,” the statement said.
