Madal Virupakshappa was arrested by the Lokayukta police on charges of corruption after his son Prashanth Madal was caught red-handed while receiving a Rs 40 lakh bribe.
The Lokayukta police opposed the bail plea citing the need for further investigation into the KSDL bribery scandal during the period of BJP MLA Madal Virupakshappa’s chairmanship.
