Arms dealer Abhishek Verma has deposed before the CBI that Congress leader Jagdish Tytler had told him in 2008 that he had met the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh after which he got a clean chit over his alleged role in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case.
Verma claimed that Tytler had boasted that it was due to his said meeting with the Prime Minister that CBI had given him a clean chit in the case. He said the conversation between him and Tytler took place after his release from jail in the leak case when they were going to a farmhouse of Gopal Kanda.
