A complaint was filed with the CBI and the Karnataka Lokayukta against Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge’s son-in-law Radhakrishna Doddamani and five others on Monday in connection with an alleged Rs 800 crore scam.

The complaint was registered by BJP Bengaluru south district president NR Ramesh. The complainant has named Doddamani, who is the management committee chief in Dr BR Ambedkar Medical College and Dr BR Ambedkar Dental College, as the prime accused.

Ramesh alleged the accused collected hundreds of crores from failed and ineligible students hailing from rich families to provide them MBBS and BDS seats.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
