CT Ravi sends legal notice to KPCC spokesperson for alleging he had disproportionate assets
Mysuru: In the background of the KPCC Spokesperson M. Laxman’s allegations that Chikmagalur MLA and BJP National Secretary C. T. Ravi had amassed 400-500 acres of property under unknown names and that the MLA must be called ‘Looti’ Ravi for his indiscretions, MLA C.T Ravi reportedly issued a legal notice against M. Laxman.
The MLA is said to have issued the legal notice through his lawyer, which states that if M. Laxman does not issue an apology and withdraws the accusations within 48 hours of receiving the notice, a defamation lawsuit would be undertaken against the KPCC spokesperson.
“In a press conference conducted at Mysuru on April 20, it was claimed that ‘10 years ago, C.T Ravi possessed an asset of 19 acres 3. But now, including in Bengaluru, Chikmagalur, Hasan, Delhi, and other places he has amassed 400-500 acres of assets. Additionally, his brother-in-law Sudarshan has been given all contracts in Chikmagalur. The 360 crores contract for the Medical College was also granted to him’, similarly several such false accusations have been made against me. This should be proven, otherwise, a defamation lawsuit will be taken against you”, C.T Ravi’s legal notice to M. Laxman states.
