‘Four more ministers took bribe’

Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Bar Hotels Association working president Biju Ramesh Wednesday evening came out with new revelation regarding the bar bribery case.

In the latest piece of audio released by channels, State Bar Association president Rajkumar Unni was heard saying that four more ministers in the UDF ministry took bribe from the bar owners to tweak the state's liquor policy.

“Four more ministers took bribe from the bar owners and their names will be revealed if the court order in the case is not favourable. The ministers had pleaded not to reveal their names in the wake of controversy,” Rajkumar Unni said.

The bar bribe scam, which pertains to graft allegation against Mani, levelled by Biju Ramesh, last week had taken a new twist with TV channels airing telephone tapes of the conversation between R. Balakrishna Pillai and Biju Ramesh.
