TIL Desk/National/Bengaluru/ Rejecting reports of Bharatiya Janata Party leader B Sriramulu’s alleged sting video, party president Amit Shah has said that many fake sting videos surfaced on the internet and urged to not believe them blindly.
Addressing a press conference in Bengaluru, Shah said, “Many fake sting videos surface. Don’t believe them blindly. Instead, rather verify it. There is no need to believe what the Congress is saying.”
In the video that is doing the rounds on social media, Sriramulu was seen allegedly giving money to former Chief Justice of India (CJI) K G Balakrishnan’s son-in-law to bribe a Supreme Court (SC) judge in a mining case.
The Reddy brothers — G Janardhana Reddy and G Somashekara Reddy — were also present. The Congress claimed that the video was shot because of the dispute that came because of ‘non-settlement of the bribe amount’.
“The video that has surfaced on today show how Sriramulu and middlemen Captain Reddy, Balan, Swamiji Rajnish and CJI Balakrishnan’s son-in-law Sreenijan discuss bribe deals in order to get a favourable judgment from the SC in the Obalipuram case,” Karnataka Congress Working President Dinesh Gundu Rao said.
“Just a day before CJI Balakrishnan retired, he passed an order in a case related to Reddy brothers mining company. Now several videos have been released which show how bribery deals were done between CJI’s son-in-law and Sriramulu and the Reddy brothers,” he added.
