The CBI has asked former Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik to answer certain queries in connection with an alleged insurance scam in the Union Territory, officials said on Friday.

This is the second time in seven months that Malik, who has served as the governor of various states, will be questioned by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). He was questioned in October last year after he concluded his gubernatorial responsibilities in Bihar, Jammu and Kashmir, Goa, and finally Meghalaya.

The CBI move comes barely a week after Malik gave an interview to “The Wire”, in which he made critical remarks about the BJP-led Centre, especially regarding its handling of Jammu and Kashmir where he served as the last governor before the erstwhile state was bifurcated into Union territories.

Reacting to the CBI summons on Malik, Senior Congress Leader Jairam Ramesh , Congress General Secretary in-charge Communications in a tweet wrote, Satyapal Malik has just been summoned by CBI apparently on his charges of insurance scams in J&K & on his being offered bribes to clear files. But why is CBI still not summoning HM on his charge that Meghalaya was running most corrupt govt. This is the letter I had written to CBI
