Karnataka Minister's Alleged Plea in Cheating Case Goes Viral

Imagine some farmers sold their maize but didn't get paid.

The people who bought the maize are accused of cheating them.

An audio clip appeared online suggesting a minister, who is like a big boss in the government, asked a police officer to help the accused person, who is related to the minister.

The police officer said they can settle the issue if both sides agree.

The minister seemed to suggest they give them more time, and that the amount is not as claimed, while the police said they would clear it if settled.

The farmers say they are owed money, and the accused, including a relative of the minister, apparently have not paid.

The minister's team has not yet given any response to the matter.
