Leh bribery allegation: Commission completes BJP's internal probe, report to be submitted soon
The four-member commission conducting the BJP's internal probe into allegations of party members offering bribes to influence the Parliamentary polls has completed its ground-level investigation, sources said.
The commission members, headed by Justice (retd) G D Sharma, have returned from Leh, sources in the BJP told PTI.
Other members of the panel include former IPS officer and IG S S Bijral, Dr Pallav Sharma and Advocate Tashi Gayalson, they said.
On May 4, the Press Club, Leh, had accused the BJP of trying to bribe its members by offering "envelops filled with money", a charge denied by the party which said the allegations were "politically motivated".
The fact finding commission recorded statements of journalists, persons associated with Press club, Leh, local leaders and examined CCTV footages, the sources said.
"The panel members have left Leh and would soon submit the findings of the probe to the party head," they said.
The police in Leh on May 9 registered an FIR against BJP ..
