Activists of the youth wing of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) staged a protest in the city on Friday demanding an impartial probe into the suicide of Deputy Superintendent of Police M.K. Ganapathy.
Addressing the protest meet, Bhavani Rao More, district unit president of BJP youth wing said that as the deceased officer had alleged that he was being harassed by Bengaluru Urban Development Minister K.J. George, Chief Minister (CM) Siddaramaiah should drop Mr. George from the Cabinet. He urged the CM to take necessary measures to put an end to political interference in the functioning of the Police Department so as to ensure that such incidents do not take place in the future.
The activists of Jaya Karnataka Sanghatane and Manava Hakkugala Horatagarara Parishat also staged separate protests at the Deputy Commissioner’s office demanding the State government hand over the probe to the Central Bureau of Investigation.
