The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board’s (BWSSB) head accountant, V Prashant Madal, was detained by the Lokayukta police after collecting money from a stranger at the Crescent Road office of his father, Channagiri BJP MLA K Madal Virupakshappa. The Ombudsman claimed that a complaint concerning Prashanth Madal, a Karnataka Administrative Services officer from the 2008 batch, requesting an 81 lakh rupee payoff from a contractor for a deal for raw materials required to produce soap and other detergents, had alerted them to the situation.
“For the purpose of purchasing raw materials, the funds were received on behalf of KSDL chairman Virupakshappa. By 6.45 p.m., the trap was set. Father and son are the defendants who received money and the chairman of KSDL “sources from Lokayukta added.
