Reporter’s Take: Major embarrassment for BJP as PSI recruitment scam accused alleges bribe to CID officer

The Karnataka state government was left red-faced after the PSI recruitment scam accused claimed CID officers demanded ₹3 crore to let him off the hook.

Scam accused RD Patil wrote a letter to the Lokayukta claiming the CID officer had already taken ₹76 lakh and was demanding the remaining amount.

Congress charged the BJP government with a bid to cover up the scam and demanded a court-monitored probe into the latest allegations.
