BJP MLC alleges corruption of crores of rupees in police transfers by state govt
Bengaluru: Labelling serious allegations of corruption against the Karnataka government, its own MLC member TM Muniraju Gowda has said that the police transfers in the state are scammed.
Speaking in the Council on Tuesday he added that every police transfer in the state yields lakhs and crores of rupees.
“Every police transfer in the state costs from Rs. 10 lakh to crores of rupees. Police co-operate with the anti-social elements as they have already paid a huge amount for their transfer. To get back that money they are making favors to the anti-social elements.” he said.
“The cops who should be maintaining law and order in the state including the Bengaluru city are paying huge sums of money and are getting transferred to places of their choices. How can we expect transparent governance from such police officers?” he questioned.
Senior Congress leader CM Ibrahim lauded Gowda for bringing up the issue in the Council. Leader of Council for the government Kota Srinivas Poojary also assured that he would seek a response from the Home Minister.

NEET student hangs self in Rajasthan's Sikar
Jaipur (PTI): A student preparing for the NEET examination allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself in a rented room in Rajasthan's Sikar on Friday, police said.
According to the police, the student allegedly hanged himself from a ceiling fan using his sister's scarf while one sister was attending coaching classes and the other was in the bathroom.
He had appeared in the NEET UG exam 2026, which was cancelled due to paper leak, they said.
Udyog Nagar SHO Rajesh Kumar said that the deceased, identified as Pradeep Meghwal, was a resident of Kanika ki Dhani village in Jhunjhunu's Gudha Gaudji area.
He had been living in a rented room in Sikar's Jaldhari Nagar area with his two sisters while preparing for NEET over the last three years.
His elder sister later found him hanging and informed the landlord and police after bringing him down, officials said.
The SHO said the body was kept at SK Hospital mortuary, and a postmortem had not been conducted.
The student's father, Rajesh Kumar Meghwal, told police that Pradeep's NEET examination had gone well and the family was expecting him to score around 650 marks.
Former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot expressed grief over the incident and linked it to anxiety among students after reports of irregularities and paper leaks in NEET 2026.
Pilot said repeated paper leak incidents and cancellation of examinations were affecting students' mental health and demanded a time-bound investigation and strict action against those responsible.
