The Lokayukta's anti-corruption division conducted a raid on Friday at the residence of Prashant Maadal, son of BJP MLA Maadal Virupakshappa, where they recovered a sum of Rs 6 crore in cash. The search operation is still ongoing. The previous day, Lokayukta officers caught Virupakshappa's son while accepting a bribe of Rs 40 lakh. "Over Rs 1.7 crore in cash was seized from his office," stated the Karnataka Lokayukta. The Lokayukta had received a complaint regarding the bribe demand, prompting them to take action. Prashant Madal is employed as the chief accountant at the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board. Officials have confirmed that the investigation is ongoing and more details will be revealed in due course.
