Pillai: Hello. Biju I’m suffering from leg pain… I know what is going on.
Pillai : I had brought bar scam to CM’s notice and at that time he was sitting with his chin resting on his palm. Rs 15 crore was collected from bar owners. Rs 2-3 lakh was collected from each bar owner. I know that. Since you have raised the allegation, you yourself should demand for a CBI inquiry. You should not backtrack from the case. I can arrange advocate.
Biju: By the way, Bakery owners had told me that Rs 2 crore was taken from them
Pillai: I also hear that Mani took Rs 19 crore from jewelleries. Rs 2 crore was taken from mill owners who supplied processed rice to Civil Supplies Corporation. First they bargained for Rs 50 lakh, then for Rs 1 crore and finally he agreed on Rs 2 core.
