Belagavi: Minister Hebbalkar calls SDC’s suicide unfortunate, denies having links to death
Belagavi: Women and Child Development Minister Lakshmi Hebbalkar has called the recent death of a second division clerk (SDC) at the Belagavi tahsildar’s office as unfortunate, but refuted allegations of having links to the incident.
The SDC, 35-year-old Rudranna Yadavannavar, had allegedly hanged himself to death in the tahsildar’s chamber, where his body was found on Tuesday morning.
Hebbalkar, who spoke to reporters in Belagavi on Wednesday, said that the alleged suicide of the SDC is being linked to her but she had no information on the incident beyond what had appeared on media platforms. She added that there were also video clips stressing on her ignorance about the matter.
The matter should be probed closely to reveal the truth and also to ensure that the bereaved family of Yadavannavar gets justice, the minister said.
