</ref> by the [[Noida]] based media firm [[Cobrapost]], aired 12 December 2005 on the Indian [[Hindi]] news TV Channel [[Aaj Tak]], Raja Ram Pal was caught on video accepting bribes of Rs. 35,000 for fielding questions in parliament.

At one point, he says that the price of getting MPs to sign on to any petition is Rs. 25,000 per MP. He wants the money in advance; he underlines this with a colourful [[Hindi]] couplet:
:''sasta roye baar-baar, mehnga roye ek baar''
:(if you throw little money you will cry again and again, but if you throw big money you will cry only once).<ref name=duryodhana/>

===Expulsion from Parliament===
On 23 December 2005 he was expelled from the Lok Sabha following the adoption of a motion calling for the expulsion of all 11 MPs caught in the sting.

The scam also led to Bahujan Samaj Party supremo [[Mayawati]] expelling him from the party, along with three others.<ref>http://www.indianexpress.com/oldStory/84757/</ref> Subsequently, he joined the [[Indian National Congress]] and was elected in the [[2009 Indian general elections]].
