Bengaluru: Karnataka Rashtra Samithi State President Ravi Krishna Reddy has demanded that an unbiased investigation be conducted in the death case of Mahesh Reddy, a close acquaintance of Health Minister B Sriramulu.
Mahesh Reddy alias Umamaheshwar Reddy, a native of Ballari district, had died under mysterious circumstances on May 29.
Ravi Krishna Reddy, who has written to Praveen Sood, Karnataka DG and IGP, said that the media has been claiming that, although Mahesh Reddy had died in the residence of Sriramulu, his body was taken to Ballari where his death was declared to be a natural death.
The body has not been subjected to a Corona test. It is also learned that, in spite of suspicion of unnatural death, no postmortem was conducted. There are also serious allegations raised regarding the incident. The death should, therefore, be closely investigated, Ravi Krishna Reddy has requested the DG and IGP.
There are rumors of Mahesh Reddy having learned of police officers being hand-in-glove with illegal cigarette vendors. He is also said to have been involved in the illegal use of crores of rupees that the government had granted for the purchase of medical equipment for Corona control, said Ravi Krishna Reddy.
He stressed that the case was serious in many ways and urged the police officer to ensure that an unbiased investigation was conducted.

Udaipur: The Udaipur Police have arrested three people, including the chief executive officer and a senior executive of a private company and the executive’s husband, in connection with the alleged gang rape of a female employee in a moving car, officials said on Thursday.
The arrests were made after the survivor filed a complaint. Following her complaint, her statement was recorded and a medical examination conducted, as reported by India Today. District Superintendent of Police Yogesh Goyal said the medical report noted injury marks that prima facie support the allegation of gang rape.
Police said the accused, identified as Jeetesh Sisodia, the CEO of GKM IT Private Limited, his colleague Gaurav, and Gaurav’s wife Shilpa, were being produced before a court for further legal proceedings.
According to the complaint, the incident took place after a birthday and New Year party hosted by the CEO at a hotel in the Shobhagpura area on December 20. The survivor said she reached the hotel around 9 pm and the gathering continued until about 1.30 am. The CEO, a senior female executive, and her husband were among those present.
The survivor stated that after she began feeling intoxicated, she was offered a lift home. She alleged that instead, she was persuaded to join an after-party. Around 1.45 am, she was seated in a car with the CEO and the executive’s husband, while the executive later joined them. The group allegedly stopped at a shop to buy smoking material, after which she was made to smoke and subsequently lost consciousness.
In her complaint, the woman said that when she regained partial awareness, she found the CEO molesting her and alleged that all three accused sexually assaulted her. Despite repeatedly asking to be taken home, she was dropped only around 5 am.
The survivor further reported that after fully regaining consciousness, she noticed injuries to her private parts. She also found that some of her belongings, including an earring, socks and undergarments, were missing.
Police said a webcam installed in the car used during the incident recorded audio and video, which might be useful during the on going investigation.
