The New Indian Express Shivamogga
|June 22, 2025
SENIOR Congress MLA BR Patil, who is the deputy chairman of the Karnataka Planning Commission, has confirmed that the audio clip in which he is heard speaking with Housing Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan's personal secretary Sarfaraz Khan on bribes for allotment of houses under various housing schemes, is his voice and he stands by his allegations.
Meanwhile, his arch-rival and former BJP MLA Subhash Guttedar has sought an inquiry by a sitting judge of the high court into the allegations made by BR Patil.
Patil told The New Sunday Express that he had a telephonic conversation with Sarfaraz and he stands by his allegations. Asked if the Congress high command had sought an explanation from him on his allegations, he replied in the negative.
