Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh, who has been booked in Kanpur for alleged financial fraud, said on Friday that the charges against him were mere "conjectures", which were not "tangible".
"I have got nothing to hide. Everything is in public domain and on the Internet. These are public limited companies, which are audited by auditors. It is easy to bring charges against Amitabh Bachchan and myself, as this garners greater TRPs for television channels," he said.
He said the allegations "are conjectures, which are never tangible".
Singh and his wife Pankaja Kumari Singh have been booked for alleged financial fraud amounting to about Rs 500 crore.
An FIR was lodged at Babupurwa police station in Kanpur on Thursday, accusing the SP general secretary and his wife of amalgamating companies for converting black money into white, informed Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) Brij Lal.
The name of actor Amitabh Bachchan also figured in the 14-page complaint as director of one of the companies, the ADG said.
The SP leader said that Bachchan was implicated in the Barabanki land case too, but was later absolved of all charges.
