Hubballi: “Corrupt IAS officer, BDA commissioner Shyam Bhat and Lokayukta Bhaskar Rao and son Ashwin have had more than 300 phone conversations with each other”, alleged Samaj Parivarthan leader S. R. Hiremath here, on Thursday.
Speaking in Hubballi, Hiremat said that Shyam Bhat should be removed from the office as he is still in contact with Lokayukta accused Ashwin Rao.
“The SIT, which is probing the high profile Lokayukta bribery case, is behaving like a caged bird. They should soon arrest Bhaskar Rao too. And there should be a thorough investigation of Shyam Bhat’s connection between Ashwin Rao”, he demanded.
Samaj Parivarthana Samudaya has written to the CBI in this regard. “We have asked to probe the encroachment of forest land and the CBI has agreed to investigate the same”, he said.
