BENGALURU: Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai took a jibe at the Congress party and said that the grand old party would have covered up the arrests of ADGP Amrit Paul and IAS officer J Manjunath in the PSI recruitment scam and bribery case, respectively. He lauded his government for taking prompt action in the two cases.
On Monday, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) arrested Additional Director-General of Police (ADGP) Amrit Paul in the police sub inspectors’ (PSI) recruitment scam case.
IAS officer J Manjunath was arrested by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), four days after he was transferred from the post of Bengaluru Urban deputy commissioner (DC). Manjunath is facing allegations of collecting bribes through his staff to settle a land dispute.
Talking to ANI, Bommai said, “Our government unearthed the whole case. The CID was given a free hand to investigate the case and spare none. The ADGP who was heading the recruitment cell was arrested after proof was found against him.”
“Similarly, in another case, an IAS officer (J Manjunath) has been arrested. We’re not here to protect anyone. If someone has done wrong, then action will be taken…If there had been a Congress government, they would have covered up the whole case,” he added. (ANI)
