New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday granted bail to all the accused in the 2008 cash-for-votes scam.

Former BJP MPs Fagan Singh Kulaste, Mahavir Singh Bhagora, political activist Suhail Hindustani, former aide of MP Amar Singh Sanjeev Saxena and Sudheendra Kulkarni were granted bail on Wednesday.

BJP MP Ashok Argal was granted anticipatory bail in the scam and will participate in the investigation as and when called for.

All the accused have been asked to furnish a bond of Rs 2 lakh each.

Opposition MPs were allegedly bribed ahead of July 22, 2008 trust vote and three BJP MPs brandished bribe money in Lok Sabha to expose UPA.

Former Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh was also granted bail in the case earlier in October.
