These are S.P. Gupta, Arvinder Singh alias Lovely Singh and Aman Arora, police said.<\/p>\n<p>They are the people with whom Hindustani allegedly tried to strike a deal for buying the support of three BJP MPs in a trust vote in 2008, claimed police.<\/p>\n<p>According to documents presented in court, police said that the statements of all the three people were recorded.Gupta, in his statement, said that July 20, 2008 Hindustani asked Gupta to meet him at India Islamic Cultural Centre where he sought his support in helping him strike the deal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hindustani offered him three BJP MP&#8217;s and requested him (S.P. Gupta) to talk to senior congress leaders to strike a deal for monetary consideration to influence voting in favour of congress party,&#8221; said the police remand paper.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecutor said after Gupta refused to do so, Hindustani with his help met Arvinder and Arora, who too declined to play any such role.Terming Hindustani to be the &#8220;mastermind&#8221; of the case, the prosecutor said: \u201cAfter failing to get any success to strike a deal with the Congress, Hindustani tried to involve leaders of the Samajwadi Party.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hindustani was arrested Wednesday after around eight hours of questioning.Police accused him of facilitating the deal of cash-for-votes in 2008. The first arrests in the case came July 16 when Saxena was taken into custody.<\/p>\n<p>Saxena had alleged that Amar Singh, who was then a member of the Samajwadi Party, had provided Rs.1 crore for buying the support of three BJP MPs in a trust vote in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>Alleged middleman Hindustani also levelled the same allegations against Amar Singh, saying he was the &#8220;main&#8221;
