In a sensational disclosure, leading Telugu daily Andhra Jyothy published a story today saying fake currency printing was taking place in the campus of the Satya Sai Baba’s Prashanthy Nilayam with the cooperation of the political bigwigs and officials and said the police action against some of the trust members is a only part of a drama to save the members from future embarrassment.

It said that some people took out the printing machine and fake currency notes from the Prashanthy Nilayam last month and burnt them somewhere near Bangalore. Later, the debris was also buried to destroy the proof. This was done at the behest of some top people in the government, said the daily.

The cameras which recorded the movements of the vehicles that carried the fake currency boxes and the printing machine were also destroyed, said the daily in its story. As per the drama worked out by the bigwigs, very soon police will conduct raids and recover some Rs.400 Cr to Rs.500 Cr from some small people and arrest them as part of the drama worked out to show to people that government and the police acted sincerely.

The daily says that former Union Home minister Shiv Raj Patil and some state and central ministers are involved in this big cover up operation aimed at saving the trust members and their supporters in the government. 

The daily said ultimately the trust members will not be caught or arrested so that they can continue with their activities in the trust and also continue to enjoy the thousands of crores of rupees earned by them illegally.
