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.

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.

Mangaluru, Jul 15: Amidst mounting coronavirus cases, the district administration has finalised 80 covid care centres (CCC) in Dakshina Kannada.

Sindhu B Rupesh, deputy commissioner of DK, said that as many as 80 premises that were functioning as quarantine centres have now been identified as CCCs in the district.

People in the district have been demanding that CCCs should be opened for asymptomatic cases in the district too.

A majority of around 1,500 active cases in Dakshina Kannada are asymptomatic, and the CCCs will help those planning to go to private hospitals to reduce their treatment costs.

Additional deputy commissioner M J Roopa said that the 80 CCCs identified throughout the district will work as care centres for asymptomatic Covid-19 patients.

A medical team will attend to the centres, and supply of food and water will be taken care of by the government. In case of any health issues, the patient will be shifted to the Covid hospital, she said.

“All asymptotic Covid-19 patients, who are unable to opt for home isolation, are being kept in CCCs. A designated health team will monitor each CCC in the district. Meanwhile, the nearest public health centre (PHC) will have an ambulance on standby in case of an emergency,” she added.
