Bengaluru: Alleging that Rs. 29.30 lakh transaction had taken place between Ritesh Pandey, Prajwal Prasad and Vinod Sharma, who are accused in the circulation of sting operation video case, KPCC Spokesperson M. Lakshmana alleged that all the three were part of Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy’s social media team.
Addressing a press meet in the State capital on Monday, Lakshmana alleged that as per available information, Rs. 50,000 was spent for purchase of mobile phone for uploading of sting video. More information on money transaction would be available if one of the accused Prajwal Prasad is taken into custody, he pointed out.
Accusing Kumaraswamy of shaming the State for political gains, he charged Union Home Minister Amit Shah of giving supari to Kumaraswamy for discrediting the Karnataka Congress Government.
He also accused the JD(S) party’s coalition partner BJP of attempting to strike four birds with a single stone in the run up to the 2028 Assembly polls.
