BENGALURU: Two warring cops in Mysuru, who fought in the open after one of them refused to share the bounty from the illicit lottery scam headed by one of their top benefactors Paari alias Laddu Rajan exposed the illicit nexus between the police and Rajan that has exploded unexpectedly under Siddaramaiah government.
The disgruntled cop decided to expose the nexus and what followed was a sting operation, which was carried out by a vernacular television channel on Rajan in March this year in which he boasted of his connections with top cops and also spoke to one of them on phone.
The cops were allegedly on his ‘payroll’ and used to bow before his largesse in return of protection. The racket involving its top police brass has reportedly been going on for the last one and a half years, and may haunt the State government like the infamous Abdul Kareem Telgi fake stamp paper scam.
