Mangaluru, Aug 25: BJP leader and Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel has sought the resignation of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah over the media reports about alleged destruction of evidence following the suicide of police officer M K Ganapathi.

Ganapathi, who was serving as Deputy Superintendent of Police in the office of Inspector General of Police in Mangaluru had committed suicide at a lodge in Madikeri last year.

Addressing presspersons here, Mr. Kateel said that the case should be handed over to Central Bureau of Investigation for a thorough probe.

The MP also said that the Chief Minister should step down to ensure a free and fair probe into the various shortcomings in the investigation which the FSL report pointed out, as had been exposed by a television channel. According to it, crucial evidence has been destroyed.

He said that as pointed out by media, the deletion of call records, and a whole lot of data from the cellphone and other storage and computing devices of the late police official gave rise to a lot of doubts on the conduct of the government.

The mobile phone and pen drives of Ganapathi recovered from the lodge contained sensitive data pertaining to senior Ministers and police officials.

This would have put them under the spotlight had this come out in public domain, he said.

The MP alleged that there was a conspiracy to shield influential politicians, including then Home Minister K.J. George and senior police officials.

Dysp is one person what about the massacre of over 2000 innocent Indian citizen's life in Gujarat. What is your opinion on pm modi why not asking him to step down.

 

This fellow will never show any interest about our city's developement or capable or having capacity .

Only mingling with noted goonda groups and feeding as per his anti national desk drohi activity. 

Hope peace loving qualified Mangaloreans will never repeat  the mistake.
