Accused allegedly known to Bommanahalli MLA Satish Reddy who had ‘exposed’ the scamThe CCB, on Tuesday, arrested Babu, 34, one of the prime suspects in the bed allotment scam. The accused is said to be known to Bommanahalli MLA Satish Reddy, who had earlier claimed to have exposed the bed allotment scam. While Nethravathy and Rohith used to get customers for the beds through their WhatsApp network, Babu used to coordinate the bed availability details. Responding to similar allegations of his involvement in the bed allotment scam, he had earlier told The Hindu that he had only asked for beds for residents of his constituency, which was being misconstrued as ‘bed blocking’. The opposition Congress argued that the arrest of Babu, who they alleged is an associate of the MLA, had ‘exposed’ the BJP’s role in the alleged bed allotment scam.
