Karnataka: Lokayukta catches BJP MLA's son with ₹40 lakh bribe money

In a shocking discovery, the Karnataka Lokayukta found Rs 40 lakh cash at BJP MLA Madal Virupakshappa's office on Bengaluru's Crescent Road on Thursday, alleged to be bribe money. The anti-corruption wing of the Lokayukta raided Madal's office and caught his son, Prashanth Madal, who is a KAS officer, red-handed while he was taking the bribe from a contractor for a project. Prashanth works as a chief accountant for the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB). His father, Madal Virupakshappa, is a sitting MLA from the Channagiri constituency in Davanagere district. He is also the chairman of Karnataka Soaps and Detergents Limited. Prashanth had allegedly demanded the bribe to close a tender for the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board which is worth Rs 80 lakh, according to reports. The Lokayukta acted on a complaint over the demand for a bribe. An official source from the Lokayukta said more than 1.7 crore cash was found at Madal's office. A video of the Lokayukta counting the cash recovered at his office is going viral on social media sites. The discovery led to an uproar in the opposition, as the Karnataka Congress furthered their “40 percent commission” attack on the Basavaraj Bommai-led government, implying corruption charges, ahead of the crucial upcoming assembly polls in the southern state.
