Congress Rajya Sabha MP Rashid Masood, who created a stir by saying that a full meal is available in Delhi’s Jama Masjid area for just Rs 5, has been found guilty by a special CBI court in connection with a medical seat allotment fraud of 1991.
Mr. Masood was found guilty of nominating several undeserving candidates to the MBBS seats allotted to Tripura during his tenure as the MoS Health in 1990-91.
On the basis of the recent judgement of the Supreme Court, Rashid Masood will become the first MP to lose his seat, as he no longer enjoys immunity as a Parliamentarian after conviction.
