Amruta Institute fraud case: Ananth Kumar's wife Tejaswini alleges conspiracy

Union Chemicals and Fertilizers Minister Ananth Kumar's wife Tejaswini on Thursday alleged that it was a political conspiracy to drag her name in the Amruta Institute case.

"It is very obvious, it is all politically motivated. I am not the chairman...I am only a member in the earlier trust. Now because recently it is added it shows that unnecessarily they want to bring in my name....my husband's name.....This will demotivate the people, who are doing good work for the society and good work for the education field," Tejaswini told ANI here.

"Yes, I have all the papers.....you ask anything we are ready....That's why I am here and we are ready to give all the papers. Even ten rupee transaction is there transparent, because it is an institution under AICTE...there is nothing to hide," she added.

When asked about her name featuring as the sixth accused in an FIR, Tejaswani said, "I checked with my auditor, I don't know what the FIR is, we have not got any copy. I heard in the newspaper that I am the sixth accused."

According to reports, the Bagalkot Police on Wednesday filed an FIR against Tejaswini after receiving a complaint against her and five others for alleged irregularities and lack of transparency in the financial transactions done to buy the Amruta Institute of Technology.

Meanwhile, the Congress staged a protest in Bangalore against Ananth Kumar and his wife Tejaswini after hearing of the FIR.
