Career

Madal joined the Karnataka government in June 2012. He is a 2008-batch officer of the Karnataka Administrative Service (KAS) and has served in finance and accounting roles across state bodies. Early in his career he worked as a deputy accounts officer at the Karnataka Rural Infrastructure Development Limited (KRIDL/KIRDL).

He later served in senior financial positions at the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB), including as Board Financial Advisor and Chief Accountant. During his time with BWSSB, the board received an international quality award at a summit in Rome; Madal was the BWSSB representative who accepted the honour. He has also been described as holding the role of Joint Controller at the KSAD Ministry of Finance, Government of Karnataka, and as of 2023 was working as chief accountant at BWSSB.

Public profile

Prashanth Madal is the son of Madal Virupakshappa, a BJP MLA from Channagiri. He is married (marriage date recorded as 20 February 2013) and has two children, a son named Pruthvi and a daughter named Chaitanya. His household religion is Lingayatism, and he has attended events tied to Anubhava Mantapa, a religious assembly historically associated with Basavanna.

Controversies

Public reporting records two major legal matters connected with Madal. In 2017, while serving as deputy accounts officer at KRIDL, officials alleged financial irregularities after large deposits intended for KRIDL were found missing; Madal, along with other officials, was suspended while the incident was investigated. A separate case in March 2023 involved his arrest by the Karnataka Lokayukta on an allegation of accepting a bribe in connection with a tender for procurement of raw materials for Karnataka Soaps and Detergents Limited (KSDL). The 2023 action included searches that recovered large sums of unaccounted cash from properties associated with him and his family, and his father subsequently resigned as KSDL chairman. Authorities named additional individuals in the matter and took related enforcement steps.

Latest updates
