The Supreme Court today directed the Delhi Police to place before it the status report on the probe conducted by it in the cash-for-vote scam during the trust vote in July 2008. Not satisfied with the Centre's contention that an FIR has been lodged in the case and probe will be completed within two months, a bench headed by Justice Aftab Alam ordered the police to file the status report by the 15th of this month.Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium said that the status report will be filed within the stipulated period in a sealed envelope before the court. The court passed the order on a petition filed by former Chief Election Commissioner J M Lyngdoh seeking its directions to the government to take action against politicians involved in the scam.
