Taking exception to the Criminal Investigation Department projecting some of the accused arrested in the PSI recruitment scam as the kingpins, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee spokesperson and MLA for Chittapur Priyank Kharge said that the real kingpins are still at large.
“R.D. Patil and Divya Hagaragi who are already arrested in the scam are not the kingpins. The real kingpins are in Bengaluru and are being protected by the Government. I feel that the Government is trying to close the investigation by projecting some of the accused that are already arrested as the kingpins. That is why the CID is showing little interest in expanding the scope of the investigation beyond Kalaburagi,” Mr. Priyank Kharge said, at a media conference at Aiwan-e-Shahi guest house in Kalaburagi on Saturday.
Recalling Home Minister Araga Jnanendra’s reply in the Legislative Council on March 10 on the PSI recruitment scam, Mr. Priyank Kharge said that the Minister had misled the House with his attempt to cover up the scam.
