Sohail Hindustani, who was facing non-bailable warrant for not attending the last hearing in the 2008 cash-for-vote case, today appeared before a Delhi court which ordered his arrest but released him after an hour.

Sohail Raja Hindustani, who has been summoned by the Parliamentary panel probing the "cash-for-votes" scam on August 18, is the man who got the three Bharatiya Janata Party MPs talk to Samajwadi Party leaders Amar Singh and Reoti Raman Singh before the trust vote in the Lok Sabha. He is an activist of the Bhartiya Yuva Morcha, the youth wing of the BJP. The panel wants to ascertain if he had actually masterminded the operation to trap Amar Singh.
