Andhra Pradesh primary education minister S. Sailajanath is in a fix after the online portal Cobrapost alleged in a sting operation that he had a role in money-laundering.
Cobrapost on Monday claimed Dr Sailajanath was the standard guarantor for `25 crore “black money” to be invested in a real estate project of his friend Dr P. Hariprasad, an orthopaedic surgeon who runs the Balaji Orthopaedic and Tr-auma Hospital at Tirupati.
The portal released the videos of the sting operation it conducted in Delhi, UP, Haryana, Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh for six months. Cobrapost stated that its journalist Syed Masroor Hasan approached Dr Prasad through a banker, saying that he wanted to invest `25-crore black money, belonging to a Delhi-based minister, in AP.
