NEW DELHI: As the assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh are over, Delhi Police have re-issued notices to the four MPs whose names were mentioned by a suspect in the human trafficking case.
The MPs, Ramswarup Koli (BJP) and Mohammad Tahir Khan, Ashok Kumar Rawat and Mitrasen Yadav (all BSP) have been asked to appear before the police by May 14.
Initially, the police had issued notices to them on April 23 but the MPs expressed their inability to adhere it, citing assembly polls in UP.
A BJP MP and two BSP MPs communicated to the police about their inability to come over to Delhi on Saturday for questioning but the fourth one, also belonging to BSP, has not replied to the notice so far.
The police has issued notices to them after their names cropped up during the interrogation of Sunder Lal Yadav, an alleged conduit in the high profile case.
Police decided to grill the four MPs after going through the travel details provided by the Foreign Residents Registration Office (FRRO).
The MPs have also been asked to bring their passports as police wants to 'physically verify' the travel document.
The police have so far arrested six persons, including Katara and his aide Rajender Kumar Gampa in the case after the Dahod MP was nabbed at the international airport here last month while trying to smuggle a woman and a teenaged boy out of the country in his wife and son's passports.
