Print Bengaluru: April 27, 2016, DHNS: The state government shunted out BBMP Assistant Commissioner (advertisement) K Mathai who had exposed large-scale irregularities in the department.
With this, Mathai has been transferred for the 24th time in the last 9 years. Mathai had exposed a racket in the advertisement section which in the last eight years led to a loss of Rs 2,000 crore to the Palike exchequer.
The officer has been charged with bringing a bad name to the institution (Palike) and casting aspersion on his superiors, which are against the Karnataka Civil Services Rules.
He has been attached with the Department of Personnel and Administration Reforms till further orders. In the transfer order, the under secretary in the urban development department, N Narasimhamurthy, said Mathai prepared several reports highlighting irregularities and circulated it in the media, though none had asked him to do so.
“Repeated attempts by the mayor, BBMP commissioner and senior Palike officials asking him (Mathai) to mend his ways went in vain. Such behaviour has embarrassed the institution,” the order stated.
Mathai was also served with a show-cause notice but he continued to provide the media with reports which portrayed senior officers in poor light, the order further stated. The BBMP commissioner, too, had requested the state government to repatriate him to his parent department.
In the eight reports on large-scale irregularities in the advertisement division, Mathai has accused former chief secretary Kaushik Mukherjee, former BBMP commissioner M Lakshminarayana, and other senior IAS officers N V Prasad and Rashmi Mahesh, of taking certain decisions that “helped” the mafia to have a free rein. Mathai stated that Mukherjee had “openly threatened” him in the presence of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah who appreciated his good work.

The police are now interrogating the couple to get the details on how the money was spent. Dominic Roy, cash van driver, who had fled with ₹1.37 crore was arrested by the Bengaluru police on Monday night.
For the past few weeks, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has been trying to convince anybody who was willing to listen that he is the chief minister of the state and will remain so. The Congress high command in Delhi has been unhappy with Siddu, as he is popularly called, for a number of reasons, the latest one being the government tender that his son’s firm was awarded in blatant violation of laws and propriety.
