The Central Bureau of Investigation on Wednesday questioned Union Minister of State for Textiles Gingee Ramachandran in connection with the cash-for-transfer scam that came to light in May this year.

The questioning of Ramachandran comes barely two days after he took over his portfolio.

He was the minister of state for finance when the scam broke out in which his personal assistant R Perumalswamy and his Chennai-based Chartered Accountant A Krishnamurthy were arrested by the CBI for allegedly fixing the transfer of an IRS officer Anurag Vardhan for Mumbai.

Gingee was asked about the procedure of transfers in the finance ministry and about the allegations that he had been influencing the CBDT members for fixing transfers of IRS officers.
