The minister is heard saying, \u201cHe did take the money, that\u2019s true, but it\u2019s not like how it\u2019s being claimed. Please help him out a little, brother. He\u2019s someone important to us. What can be done?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">The officer is heard replying that both parties were earlier given a chance to settle the dispute, but neither agreed, the report added.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">\u201cWe\u2019ve already given them a chance to settle the matter. If both parties agree and clear the dues, we can close the case. It\u2019s an ego issue. But neither side is agreeing,&#8221; the official is heard saying.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">The minister then requests, \u201cPlease give them one more chance, a few days\u2019 time,&#8221; while the PSI explains that a settlement is possible but requires both parties to agree.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">Khan further emphasises, \u201cYes, that\u2019s true. The money needs to be given, but the amount isn\u2019t as high as stated in the complaint. Give them a chance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">PSI Reddy then replies, \u201cLet them come here and settle it; I will clear it.&#8221; To which the minister responds, \u201cOkay, okay.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">However, the authenticity of the clip cannot be verified.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Shobhit Gupta\" title=\"Shobhit Gupta\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Untitled-design-2025-06-421898aac7df12606d3395094d8b8840.png?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/shobhit-gupta-28018.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Shobhit Gupta<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Shobhit Gupta is a sub-editor at News18.com and covers India and International news.
