There is also a complaint made by BJP Bengaluru South District President N.R. Ramesh against Radhakrishna Doddamani, son-in-law of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, and five others. His complaint filed against the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Karnataka Lokayukta against Radhakrishna Doddamani, son-in-law of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, and five others, alleged that the scam involving Rs 800 crore was carried out by Radhakrishna Doddamani.
Radhakrishna Doddamani has been named as Chief of the Management Committee at Dr B.R. Ambedkar Medical College and Dr B.R. Ambedkar Dental College. The charges against him are corruption, fraud, falsification of documents, forgery, and abuse of power.
H.S. Mahadeva Prasad, Dr N.T. Murali Mohan, V. S. Kuber, and Public Relations Officer Amanulla Khan are the other co-accused named in the complaint.
The allegations against the defendants include the collection of large sums illegally from ineligible students belonging to affluent families. These sums, in crores, would come as bribes to secure course placements in MBBS and BDS for these students through document tampering.
He says that large sums of money between Rs 1 crore and Rs 2 crore would be extorted from each student and fake academic certificates would be generated from other institutions like Jharkhand and so on. The internal assessment scores would also be manipulated with financial inducements to suit themselves, he adds.
The complaint reveals the irregularities in the admission of students under the management quota, an alleged decade-long malpractice behind such irregularities. Malpractices would include manipulation of the selection process and improper admission.
It is alleged that failed students were admitted by an officer of the lower tier like Amanulla Khan, who was appointed as the Public Relations Officer, with financial inducements.
Ramesh gives a direct example of a student from Bengaluru whose admission into a Karnataka medical college was made possible by the forgery of academic documents procured from a Jharkhand college.
The complaint indicates that fraud has been perpetrated for over a decade—about 15 years. Ramesh further states that Amanulla Khan is constructing a medical college in Krishnagiri district, Tamil Nadu, worth an estimated Rs 500 crore.
Ramesh laments the appointment of Radhakrishna Doddamani, a person who was able to complete his MBBS after nine years and 18 attempts, as a professor under Mallikarjun Kharge. He questions the validity of Doddamani's MD degree also.
Importantly, Radhakrishna Doddamani is contesting for a Congress ticket from Kalaburagi in the coming elections.
