CBI Questioned Former Governor Of Meghalaya Satya Pal Malik Over Allegations 300 Crores Bribes To Clear Files

CBI questioned former Meghalaya Governor Satya Pal Malik at CBI Headquarters in Delhi. The questions and answers were conducted at the Delhi headquarters of the central agency. He is alleged to have been offered a bribe of Rs 300 crore to clear two files when he was the governor of Jammu and Kashmir.

Earlier, a CBI inquiry was ordered into the allegations of former Governor Satya Pal Malik being offered a bribe of Rs 300 crore. This was approved by the Central Government. In fact, Satya Pal Malik had claimed that he was offered a bribe of Rs 300 crores when he was the governor of Jammu and Kashmir. The offer was to be made in lieu of clearing two files of ‘Ambani’ and ‘person associated with RSS’, but he rejected the deal.

Along with this, he had praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that at that time the PM had told him not to compromise on corruption. The Jammu and Kashmir administration had recommended the central government to investigate this claim by the CBI. Which has now been approved by the Central Government.

What is the whole matter?
On October 17, 2021, in a program in Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan, Satyapal Malik had said, ‘After going to Kashmir, two files came to me. One was Ambani’s file and the other was of an RSS affiliate who was a minister in the previous Mehbooba Mufti-BJP coalition government. He was also very close to PM Modi. I was informed by the secretaries that there was a scam and then I canceled both the deals in turn. The secretaries told me that Rs 150-150 crore would be given for both the files. But, I told them that I have come with five kurta-pyjamas and will leave with only that.
