THE REACTION!
VAJARAHALLA AND KARIOBANAHALLI RECORDS SEIZED
After the TBMR exposure on the bogus khatha entries made in Vajarahalli and Kariobanahalli areas by fraudsters, the Chairman of the Standing Committee on Administrative Reforms, has raided the offices and seized records. As the fraud is conspicuous by records, the least the Commissioner could do was to suspend the RO, AROs, RIs, case workers etc. But that is not happening as the Chairman has not given a report to the Commissioner.
Now, allegedly, the fraudsters are making efforts to clinch a deal with the chairman of the Standing Committee, to hush up the issue, through a corporator. As per the deal, the ARO, RI and case workers have to pool 5 lakhs each and surrender it to a man who is clinching the deal. It is not a big deal by any standard as the Vajarahalli ‘fraud’ has provided at least rupees 60 lakhs to the fraudsters and the Kariobanahalli fraud has provided, equal if not more ‘revenue’ to the fraudsters.
One will have to wait and see whether the Chairman of the Standing Committee oblige the fraudsters or not, with a meager ‘payment’ of few lakhs!
