Valmiki Corporation scamsters honey-trapped officials to misappropriate money, claims Sriramulu

BENGALURU: Senior BJP leader B Sriramulu on Thursday alleged that the Karnataka Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation scamsters honey-trapped government and bank officials to misappropriate money.

The former minister claimed that high-end luxury cars were purchased with the money meant for the welfare of tribal people. The money was laundered and used in different elections, including the Lok Sabha election, he further claimed.

“The scamsters purchased a Lamborghini car with the Valmiki Corporation funds, diverted money through ‘hawala’ channels and spent it on elections,” Sriramulu claimed at a press conference here.
