THE WHITE CORRUPTION! 
 
Rangaram Nayak takes corruption payment through cheques! 

 In our earlier issue, we had exposed about the caste manipulation of Rangaram Nayak. He is the In charge Joint Director in Mysore Zone of the Karnataka Rural Infrastructure Development Limited (formerly Karnataka Land Army Corporation). Rangaram, who belonged to the ‘Parivar’ caste, a backward tribe, got the job in KLAC in 1984. His service records show him as belonging to Backward Tribe, but later this was rounded off and an entry was made showing him as belonging to ST by stating that he belonged to Nayak Caste. The CRE Cell which probed the matter reported that Rangaram had obtained bogus ST certificate. The Tahsildar cancelled the bogus ST certificate in 2009 and within six months; the same Tahsildar restored his bogus ST Certificate after holding a stage managed probe. Based on this ST Tag given by Tahsildar, Rangaram has now staked his claim to the regular JD and consequential benefits including seniority. 

 Nevertheless, besides, acquiring the post on the basis of a bogus ST certificate, Rangaram Nayak is most forward in his corruption tactics. He might be the only official in KRIDL to practice ‘Black and White’ corruption. So bold he is that he is accepting money through cheques in his account. Just like our ex CM Yedurappa, who floated the companies in the name of his kith and kin to receive the bribe money as contributions in these companies. 

 Allegedly, every AD has to pay percentage kickback to Rangaram either through cash or through Bank remittance. For technical approval, the officials have to pay his commission depending on the amount of the work. The ADs have to personally meet him to pay the money and take the technical sanction order. If the ADs does not have the money at the moment or unable to come personally, Rangaram gives them the option of remitting the same to his personal SB account in SBH, Bamboo Bazar Branch Mysore or Corporation Bank, Siddharthnagar Branch, Mysore in a/c No.9728 and his wife’s a/c No.9729. Rangaram has allegedly fixed his commission at Rs.1.50 per kg for releasing steel. 

 The ADs who make payments to Rangaram through his Bank account has to send the copy of the payment challan to him. This practice is going on since many years and is still continuing. For example, the Kadur AD has remitted 10 thousand to Rangaram’s a/c on 24.02.2012 and Mangalore AD has remitted 15 thousand on 03.03.2012. 

 If the KRIDL or the Lokayukta probes the Bank transactions of Rangaram’s SB account, the cat will be out of the bag
