New Delhi, Nov 17: Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee today said CBI would probe the alleged bribery case involving Union Minister Dilip Singh Judeo. "The mater has been handed over to Cbi. CBI will inquire into it," Vajpayee told reporters at an Iftar party here hosted by Textile Minister Syed Shahnawaz Hussain.

Asked whether he had seen the video footage purportedly showing Judeo taking the money, the Prime Minister said "saaf nahi hai (it is not clear)". To a question whether the Judeo episode would affect the prospects of BJP in the coming assembly elections, Vajpayee said "it will be known after counting (of votes)."
