Rs 30 cr bribe given to CCB officials to cover-up Ambident scam: Ravikrishna Reddy
Bengaluru, Dec 17: Lanchamukta Karnataka Nirmana Vedike president Ravi Krishna Reddy alleged that main accused in Ambident cheating case Syed Fareed has given Rs 30 crore bribe to some CCB officials to cover-up the case.
Speaking to reporters here on Monday, Reddy said that it is said that Fareed has given Rs 30 crore bribe to some of the CCB officials for not interrogating him over the case and investigate his company and Fareed himself has disclosed this to other people. But it was not fair to speak about it without having proper evidences. But going by the investigation into the scam in recent days, they were under moral pressure to disclose the information they have got from reliable sources before the people. With the disclosure of this information, the corrupt police officials would think twice before shielding cheaters, he said.
Bengaluru East DCP Ajay Hilori has got Rs 5 crore each for four cases filed in DJ Halli Police station, while city police commissioner Sunil Kumar got Rs 5 crore, East ACP Seemanth Kumar Singh got Rs 3 crore, CCB previous joint commissioner Sathish Kumar got Rs 3 crore and senior IPS officer Hemant Nimbalkar got Rs 1 crore from Ambident Company, he alleged.
All these officials should undergo Narco Analysis and Brain Mapping tests to uncover the truth in the cheating case. Since the police department has been facing such an allegation, the police department has lost its moral right to investigate the case. So, the investigation should be handed over to CBI, demanded.
The Vedike has been collecting information about the bribe given to politicians. Seeking justice to the people who were cheated by Ambident, Ala, Injaz, Ajmeera and other companies, the Vedike has organized a protest in front of the Gandhi statue at the Mourya Circle in the city on December 18, he said.

New Delhi (PTI): Approximately 13 lakh litres of packaged drinking water -- 'Rail Neer' -- are being supplied to train passengers across the railway network daily, the government informed the Lok Sabha in a written reply on Wednesday.
Apprising the Lower House about the Indian Railways' endeavour to provide safe and potable drinking water facilities at all stations, the government also provided zone-wise details of the water vending machines (WVMs) installed there.
"To ensure the quality of drinking water being made available at the railway stations, instructions exist for periodical checking and required corrective action to be taken.
"Regular inspection and maintenance of drinking water facilities is carried out and complaints are attended to promptly," Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said while responding to a question raised by BJP MP Anup Sanjay Dhotre seeking to know the supply of drinking water at railway stations across the country
"Complaints regarding deficiency in services, including water supply, are received through various channels such as public complaints, web portals, social media, etc. These complaints are received at various levels, including the Railway Board, zonal railways, division office, etc.," Vaishnaw said.
"The complaints so received are forwarded to the concerned wings of Railways and necessary action is taken to check and address them. As receipt of such complaints and action taken thereon is a continuous and dynamic process, a centralised compendium of these is not maintained," he added.
Providing zone-wise details of water vending machines, the minister said 954 such machines have been installed across railway stations.
"The Indian Railways also provides safe and affordable packaged drinking water bottles -- Rail Neer -- approved by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in trains and at stations," Vaishnaw said.
