Chikkaballapur (Karnataka) – A case was registered against three accused for allegedly defrauding an industrialist of ₹89 lakh during a maize purchase deal.

In the recording, Minister Ahmed is reportedly heard asking the police to release the accused.

Industrialist Ramakrishna had filed a complaint against Nasir, Abdul Razak, and Akbar Pasha for financial fraud. Based on the complaint, a case was registered at the Peresandra Police Station.

In a phone call with Sub-Inspector Jagadish of Peresandra Police Station, Minister Zameer Ahmed allegedly said, “They (the accused) are very close to me, so please help them and release them.” In response, the sub-inspector suggested calling both parties to the police station and resolving the matter amicably.

Editorial Perspective

How will Congress ministers who support accused extremists ever establish the rule of law in Karnataka? If ministers themselves instruct the police to release accused criminals, the crime rate in the state will never go down!
