Most of them joined in the last week of April and they’ve been allocated specific shifts. All names mentioned in this text were in the BBMP employee list except for one person.
The 16 names mentioned in the WhatsApp text are listed in the same chronology as heard in Surya’s video. The list names 205 employees along with their employment ID, designation, mobile number, shift category, date of joining, and team name. BBMP Chief Commissioner Gaurav Gupta told The Hindu that the helplines are connected to the zonal war rooms.Īlt News gained access to the employee list of the South BBMP COVID war room. Last week, The Hindu reported that the BBMP COVID-19 helpline (1912) has 400 lines and receives about 3,000 calls from citizens across the city every day. In response to the pandemic, several states have set up round-the-clock call centres that provide end-to-end support for citizens – from giving medical advice on a symptom to booking hospital beds. It shows Surya reading out 16 names and asking Special Commissioner Thulasi Maddineni, “Are you appointing for Madrasa or Corporation?… Who are they? Which agency?” 16 Muslim workers branded as ‘terrorists’ in WhatsApp forwardsĪ WhatsApp text was circulated with the names listed by Surya and the BBMP employees were labelled as ‘terrorists’ in a matter of a few hours. Starting from the 11:59 minute mark of Surya’s press conference, a two-minute clip has been widely circulated on WhatsApp. He was accompanied by his uncle and Basavanagudi MLA Ravi Subramanya, Chickpet MLA Uday Garudachar, and Bommanahalli MLA Satish Reddy. The entire fiasco was live-streamed on the BJP leader’s social media account. On May 5, The Hindu reported that most of these workers were fired.
Surya claimed that he has evidence of their involvement in the scam. Every person he accused hailed from the Muslim community.
On May 4, BJP MP from South Bangalore constituency Tejasvi Surya entered the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) South zone COVID war room during work hours (around 3 pm) and alleged that 16 of its workers were involved in a bed-for-bribe scam.
