THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The government Wednesday informed the vigilance court in the capital city that a charge sheet will be filed against Finance Minister K M Mani in the bar scam after completing the investigation in two months. The government informed the court that they need not monitor the investigation in the case. The government asserted their stand on the plea of Biju Ramesh, bar association working president, who leveled allegations against Mani.
Though there are almost 400 witnesses in connection with the case, only 27 have been questioned so far. The counsel for the government sought two more months’ time to complete the probe. Following that, the court postponed the case to May 5.
Biju had alleged that Mani accepted a bribe of Rs one crore to open the closed bars. However, none of the other bar owners gave statement against Mani.
