Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge has made a startling claim regarding the multi-crore Bitcoin scam that has gripped the state. He alleged that names of several Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders will surface as the investigation progresses. This statement comes after the Karnataka police's Special Investigation Team (SIT) named Congress MLA N.A. Haris’ elder son, Mohammed Haris Nalapad, as an accused in the high-profile case.
Priyank Kharge's Allegations
Speaking to the media, Priyank Kharge asserted that the SIT investigation is thorough and will not spare anyone involved. He emphasized that the scam is not limited to a single individual or party, and that the truth will eventually come out. “Names of BJP leaders will emerge,” he stated, hinting at a wider political conspiracy. Kharge also criticized the BJP for attempting to divert attention from the case.
SIT Names Congress MLA's Son
The SIT, which is probing the Bitcoin scam, has named Mohammed Haris Nalapad, son of Congress MLA N.A. Haris, as an accused. Nalapad is alleged to have played a key role in the scam, which involves fraudulent Bitcoin investments worth crores of rupees. The SIT has been collecting evidence and questioning multiple suspects.
Political Reactions
The case has taken a political turn, with both the ruling Congress and opposition BJP trading barbs. The BJP has accused the Congress of protecting its own, while Congress leaders like Kharge have turned the tables by claiming BJP involvement. The SIT is expected to release more details soon.
The Bitcoin scam has shaken Karnataka, with investors losing significant sums. The SIT's investigation is ongoing, and further arrests are anticipated. Kharge's remarks have added fuel to the political fire, making the case a major talking point in the state.
