A senior official in the SIT said on Saturday that Mr. Yaduvanshi, who is currently Health Secretary in the Delhi administration, was quizzed on Friday for four hours and on Saturday for two hours. Mr. Yaduvanshi was quizzed for allegedly condoning the delay in renewing lapsed mining leases of Kadnekar Mining during the Digambar Kamat government. Applications filed in 1996 were not condoned and they were time-barred. The then Mines Minister condoned the delay on humanitarian grounds because of the death of Zoiram and secondly because the Goa government was taking a liberal approach to condoning delays. Mr. Kamat has persistently denied the charges of any vested interest in condoning the delay.
