Argal, on the other hand, denied all charges and said he did not approach Rewati. He said it was Rewati who met him, asked him to join SP and offered money for the trust vote. He said Rewati will have to explain what he was doing at his house on the intervening night of July 21 and 22. As of now, five people have been interrogated in this regard.
