Former opposition leader and Congress MLA Vijay Wadettiwar (photo) on Wednesday alleged that Praful Lodha, said to be linked to a honey trap case and considered close to Water Resources Minister Girish Mahajan, earned Rs 200 crore by screening honey trap videos.

"There is a very big honey trap racket. Many big fish are trapped in it. Around 50 ministers and officials are trapped in it. Big officials, many former and current ministers, are involved in the honey trap," Wadettiwar said.

He then added: "The one whose name has come up is Praful Lodha, who has taken money from many people. He has made at least Rs 200 crores. I will not say whose worker or from which party he is, but the entire matter will be revealed soon. Many hidden faces will also come to the fore."
