Responding to Home Minister Araga Jnanendra who, on Friday, questioned the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee spokesperson Priyank Kharge’s conduct of not appearing before the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), the latter, on Saturday, said that the Police Department, which was known for its efficiency, became tainted under the leadership of the former.
In a Facebook post, the Congress MLA for Chittapur in Kalaburagi district said that the CID was not so weak to get the audio clip which was in the public domain and ascertain its authenticity but it was looking at the scam like a horse wearing a blindfold, just because of the Home Minister’s pressure.
In a media conference in Kalaburagi on April 23, Mr. Priyank Kharge released an audio clip of a purported telephonic conversation between a “successful candidate” in the PSI recruitment examination and a middleman who appeared to have struck the deal between the candidates and the appointing authorities.
