New Delhi, Feb. 8 (PTI): The Opposition has demanded the dismissal and arrest of civil aviation minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy, who has been accused of failure to clear hotel bills for him and his family in Goa.

“We demand Rudy’s immediate dismissal, arrest and a thorough CBI probe into non-payment of his bills and asking the AAI (Airports Authority of India) to pick up the bills for his family’s stay,” Congress leader Kapil Sibal told a news conference today.

The AAI issued a statement saying that on the instruction of the office of the civil aviation minister, it had not made any payment for Rudy’s stay in Goa.

Rudy is reported to have said that he had not paid so far as the hotel had raised its rates.
