Staff Reporter

BANGALORE: Continuing the investigation into the disproportionate assets acquired by five police officials, the Lokayukta police on Wednesday recovered more gold ornaments and documents related to properties acquired by the police officials.

The Lokayukta police broke open two lockers of the Koramangala inspector Mir Arif Ali in Canara Bank, Koramangala branch. They found gold ornaments and documents related to a flat in BTM Layout registered in the name of Mr. Ali's daughter.

They found documents related to four houses under-construction in S.T. Bed area built on 40X60 sites. They also recovered blank cheques signed by Mr. Ali's wife, daughter, and son-in-law.

In the case of City Crime Branch Inspector Shami-Ur-Rehman the Lokayukta police found documents of 2.5 acres land at Bettahalli on the outskirts of the city, which is worth Rs. 2.5 crores.

On Tuesday, the Lokayukta police headed by four superintendents of police raided the houses and offices of Deputy Superintendent of Police, Doddaballapur, N Krishnappa, Shami-Ur-Rehman, Mr. Ali, police inspector (VVIP Security) N. Narayanaswamy and circle inspector of Yeshwantapur police station P. Shivanna.

Staff shortage

Considering the shortage of staff in Lokayukta police in dealing with corruption cases, Lokayukta N. Venkatachala told presspersons that he had asked the Director-General and Inspector General of Police B.S. Sial to fill the 13 vacant posts of police inspector. He said he would also ask Mr. Sial to provide the Lokayukta police with weapons.

With the arrest of the five police officials, Mr. Venkatachala said he was now receiving complaints from people against the officials.

On Wednesday, a person from Jeevan Bima Nagar complained that Mr. Ali did not register complaint about theft of articles worth Rs. 1 lakh, despite making repeated visits to the police station.
