Deputy superintendent of police Handibag had committed suicide earlier this month after a kidnaping case was registered against him in Belagavi. On Monday, the family members of Handibag, including his parents, wife, and siblings met Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in Bengaluru.

They told the chief minister that Handibag was innocent and he was falsely trapped in a kidnaping case by the gambling mafia for targeting them. They sought action against those responsible for Handibag's suicide.

Devarahippargi MLA?A?S?Patil (Nadahalli), who had arranged the meeting of Handibag's family with Siddaramaiah, said 60 legislators had signed a petition seeking a government job for the late police officer's wife. Vidya has passed her SSLC and has a one-year-old child.

Congress MLA?S?T?Somashekar said he would provide a job to Handibag's sister in a cooperative institution. Somashekar has worked in the cooperative sector and headed the Karnataka State Cooperative Housing Federation.

Later in the day, Handibag's father Basappa was admitted to M?S?Ramaiah?Hospital for treatment of partial paralysis.

Court quashes suspects' bail pleas

A local court on Monday quashed the bail pleas of two suspects in the Handibag suicide case.

VHP activist Khandya Praveen, the prime suspect in the case who is evading arrest, had applied for anticipatory bail, while another suspect Kalmane Nataraj, who has been already arrested by the CID, had filed a regular bail application.

According to sources, the advocates representing the duo are preparing to move the High Court for bail.

Abhiram and Joy Milton, who have been arrested in the case, were remanded in judicial custody.
