NEW DELHI, January 8: The multi-crore Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) bribery case received another setback with one more witness of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) turning hostile in the court today.Captain Dilawar Singh, former office secretary of Janata Dal (A) today denied having sent any written statement to the CBI director on the alleged role of top politicians in the payment of money to Opposition MPs to defeat the July 28, 1993 no-confidence motion against the P V Narasimha Rao government.A key prosecution witness, Singh contradicted his statements earlier recorded by the CBI. He is the second prosecution witness to have turned hostile after Devender Mukhia made a volte-face in the case yesterday. Singh, however, admitted to having told the CBI details relating to meetings Ajit Singh had with the MPs of his party and various Congress leaders, including Bhajan Lal, to discuss the situation arising from the motion.Arguments on the case will be heard tomorrow.
