Report urges prosecution in Karnataka PPE import scandal

Retired High Court Judge Michael D Kuna has submitted a report recommending the prosecution of former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa and former Health Minister B Sriramulu under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act. The report points to irregularities in importing 3 lakh PPE kits from two Chinese firms during the Covid-19 pandemic. The BJP denies the allegations, while the Congress calls for legal action, asserting the inquiry is not politically motivated.
