Valmiki Corpn 'scam' case: Action will be taken once SIT submits probe report, says Siddaramaiah

Mysuru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday said action will be taken and responsibilities will be fixed in connection with an alleged illegal money transfer scam involving a state-run Karnataka Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation, once the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the case submits its report.

He also rejected the opposition’s demand for his resignation in connection with the scam.

“Three investigations are going on — one by CBI in connection with the involvement of the bank, second by ED and the third by SIT. The SIT is conducting the probe, let the probe report come out,” Siddaramaiah told reporters here in response to a question.
