The CBI filed its charge sheet earlier last week in a Special CBI court in Jammu. Satyapal Malik is currently under treatment in Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, Delhi.
CBI suspects Malik benefited from kickbacks for Rs 2,200 crore contract award in Jammu, it is learnt. In 2021, he said he had refused a Rs 300 crore bribe, prompting probe.
The two spoke on a range of issues, including J&K, the 2019 Pulwama attack, caste census, Adani, and state of farmers in India. Video of conversation released by Congress on social media.
Ex-J&K governor and former BJP national V-P Malik said one cannot rule out 'attack on Ram Mandir' or 'orchestrated conflict with Pakistan' ahead of 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

In October 2021, Malik had claimed that he was offered a Rs 300 crore bribe for clearing two files during his tenure as governor of Jammu and Kashmir between 23 August 2018 and 30 October 2019.
