Mandya: Allegations of corruption have once again surfaced in the Mandya Excise Department. Reports suggest that obtaining a bar license requires payment of hefty bribes, with applications being rejected despite proper documentation if the bribe is not paid.
Congress worker Puneeth has complained with Mandya Lokayukta against Excise DC Ravishankar and Maddur Excise Inspector Shivashankar. He has submitted audio and video evidence to support his claim that these officials demanded bribes for issuing CL-7 bar licenses.
Details of Puneeth’s Complaint:
Puneeth stated that he had applied for a bar license in his mother’s name, Lakshmamma, for a bar and restaurant in Maddur taluk. Despite applying online, the authorities rejected it four times because he refused to pay the demanded bribe. READ THIS- “Criticized as ‘Second-Hand’ After Divorce”: Samantha Opens Up
According to Puneeth, even with proper documentation, licenses are not being granted unless bribes are paid. He has accused the officials of misusing their power for personal gain and urged the Lokayukta to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter.
