When the judge questioned the accused Shriki on this, he replied that the police had given him drugs in custody. Keeping this in view, the court ordered medical examination of his blood and urine samples.
“The police who was supposed to check her blood and urine samples at Victoria Hospital took her to Bengaluru Medical College and Hospital. Importantly, the police have requested the accused Sriki to wash her stomach. Can anyone tell us Why was this being done. Requested,” he questioned.
The medical institute says that since the hospital is being converted into a COVID centre, testing of blood and urine samples was not possible and sent it to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL).

“At every stage, the police have worked in favor of the main accused, Shriki. By not testing him for drugs, the police have destroyed the evidence. They have called the linemen to conduct the Mahajar process which is something about bitcoin. Don’t even know. The CID investigation into the bitcoin scam is a comedy.”
Police have said that they have recovered 31 bitcoins worth Rs 9 crore. “However, the confiscated bitcoins have gone into the wallet of the police. There is information that 187 bitcoins that were found during the operations of the mahajar have disappeared and this needs to be investigated,” he added.
“This is not Digital India. No doubt, it is an international scam. Doesn’t Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai who was the then Home Minister know this?
