The Congress in Mysuru has urged Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Home Minister G. Parameshwara to order a special probe headed by a retired High Court judge to enlarge the scope of investigation into the alleged fraud involving Hindutva activist Chaitra Kundapura.
The demand for a special probe with an enlarged scope was made by Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) spokesperson M. Lakshmana and Mysuru District Congress Committee president B.J. Vijaykumar at a press conference in Mysuru on Tuesday.
Mr. Vijaykumar said the scope of ongoing probe against Ms. Kundapura for allegedly cheating industrialist Govinda Babu Poojary of ₹5 crore by promising him BJP ticket in the recently held Assembly elections should be enlarged to cover not only the Police Sub Inspector (PSI) recruitment scam, but also the appointments to posts of Vice-Chancellors of various State universities and members of Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) made during the BJP tenure.
