Violation of terms It may be recalled that Farooq, a city based businessman had helped the Lokayukta trap Sampangi red handed while accepting a bribe of Rs 5 lakh, had filed a writ petition in the High Court on Friday, objecting to Speaker KG Bopaiah's clean chit to him. Farooq had also appealed to the HC to cancel his bail since he violated the terms by threatening the witnesses, including him. Farooq had stated that the State Home Secretary should provide security to him as long as Sampangi is on bail until the sessions court decides upon the case. Otherwise, the complainant and witnesses will have to live under constant threat from him. Previously... A frustrated Farooq had made a representation to the President of India, seeking permission for euthanasia, because of harassment from Sampangi. Deliberating on the Speaker's role, Farooq had said that Speaker had given a clean chit to Sampangi which is illegal, and without authority of law, as the case is pending before the court. The panel, has on the contrary, in its report tabled in the state assembly had recommended that Farooq, who had allegedly paid a Rs 5 lakh bribe, including Rs 50,000 in cash, for settling a civil dispute, should be "censured for making false charges and thereby bringing disrepute" to the BJP MLA.
