CBI questions BJP MPs Prakash Javadekar, Bhupendra Yadav

New Delhi: CBI today questioned BJP Rajya Sabha MPs Prakash Javadekar and Bhupendra Yadav in connection with a video tape in which they were allegedly seen discussing ways to weaken case against Narendra Modi's aide



In the sting operation, the leaders are purportedly shown discussing how Prajapati's mother Narmadabai can be convinced to change her Vakalatnama.

She has filed a case alleging her son was killed in a fake encounter in which BJP general secretary Amit Shah is an accused.

However, BJP has claimed there is nothing “incriminating” against the three leaders in the sting operation.  
Prajapati, who was allegedly a witness to Sohrabuddin Sheikh's murder, was killed on December 2006--a year after Sheikh was shot dead in an alleged fake encounter in Gujarat.

The journalist, who conducted the sting operation, had alleged that senior BJP leaders managed to get undated blank ‘Vakalatnamas' from Narmadabai to allegedly subvert the Judicial proceedings.
