Will examine PSI scam-related audio of BJP MLA, says CM Bommai
Bengaluru, Sep 12: Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Monday said the audio involving a BJP MLA's purported conversation with a man in connection with the scam-hit police sub-inspector (PSI) recruitment would be examined and if something wrong was found, he would get it investigated.
I don't know about the audio or video. We will examine it. If at all something like that (scam) is found then we certainly will order to investigate, Bommai told reporters here.
The Congress has tweeted alleging that the Kanakagiri BJP MLA Basavaraj Dadesagur acted as a broker in the PSI scam between the candidates and the government, and collected Rs 15 lakh.
Basavaraj Dagesagur, who was broker on behalf of the government in the PSI scam and after collecting Rs 15 lakh admitted that the voice in the audio was his and later threatened those who levelled charges against him. This video exposes the reality of the MLA. Dear Basavaraj Bommai, when will you show the guts to question the MLA? the Congress sought to know.
Congress MLA and former minister Priyank Kharge, too, asked the same question to Bommai in a press conference.
However, BJP MLA Dagesagur said the audio was not a recent one but of 2020.
I am unrelated to it (scam). I only went to mediate in a case. I had only said that I will solve the matter. There is no relation between my conversation and the PSI scam in 2020. A former MLA of our area joined some audios. This is nothing but a political conspiracy, Dagesagur told reporters at the Vidhana Soudha.
He added that he was accused of collecting Rs 15 lakh but his son did not clear the physical test.
PSI ಹಗರಣದಲ್ಲಿ ಸರ್ಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಬ್ರೋಕರ್ ಆಗಿದ್ದ ಬಸವರಾಜ್ ದಡೇಸಗೂರರವರು 15 ಲಕ್ಷ ಪಡೆದ ಸಂಗತಿಯ ಆಡಿಯೋ ನನ್ನದೇ ಎಂದು ಒಪ್ಪಿ ನಂತರ ಆರೋಪಿಸಿದವರನ್ನು ಬೆದರಿಸಿ ಉಲ್ಟಾ ಹೊಡೆದಿದ್ದರು.

Crocodiles found in MP house during IT searches; reptiles rescued by forest dept
Bhopal, Jan 11: Crocodiles were rescued on Friday from a house in Sagar district in Madhya Pradesh by forest department officials who were tipped off about the presence of the reptiles by Income Tax personnel raiding the place.
Confirming the development, MP Head of Forest Force Aseem Shrivastava told PTI that a case has been registered under the Wildlife Protection Act in this regard.
The action was taken after forest department personnel were notified about the presence of crocodiles by IT sleuths, he added.
"The health of the crocodiles is being examined. We will intimate the court about them and proceed accordingly," Shrivastava added.
Shrivastava, however, did not say how many crocodiles were rescued or who was the owner of the house.
While a top IT official said searches were carried out at places connected to Rajesh Kesarwani, a bidi manufacturer, building construction contractor and former BJP corporator in Sagar, he refused to speak anything about crocodiles.
Sources put the number of reptiles rescued at four.
