Sasikala case: State government orders ACB probe against ex-DGP
Bengaluru: The Karnataka government has ordered a probe by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) against former Director-General of Police (Prisons), in connection with the allegations of bribery for reportedly giving special privileges to former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa’s aide V.K. Sasikala.
This is based on the recommendations of the Vinay Kumar Fact Finding Committee on alleged irregularities in the Parappana Agrahara Central Prison.
It was alleged that Mr H.N. Satyanarayana Rao, who has since retired from service, accepted illegal gratification of ₹ 2 crore for giving special privileges to Ms. Sasikala.
The ACB had earlier conducted a preliminary inquiry into the allegations, based on a complaint by IPS officer D. Roopa, and closed the inquiry, RTI documents revealed. The agency will now have to begin the probe afresh, following a specific order from the government.

Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir receives death threat via email
New Delhi: Team India head coach and former cricketer Gautam Gambhir has reportedly lodged a formal complaint with the Delhi Police after receiving a death threat via email, which read: “I kill you.”
Gambhir received two identical threatening emails on Tuesday—one in the afternoon and another in the evening. Disturbed by the messages, he immediately approached the police and filed a formal complaint for an FIR while seeking enhanced security measures for his family, as reported by India Today on Thursday.
The cyber cell is working to trace the email’s origin and identify the perpetrator. This marks not the first time Gambhir has faced such intimidation; a similar threat was reported in November 2021 during his tenure as a Member of Parliament.
The threat comes just days after the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam. Gambhir condemned the incident on Tuesday via X, writing: “Praying for the families of the deceased. Those responsible for this will pay. India will strike.”
Gambhir has urged law enforcement authorities to take all necessary precautions to ensure the safety and security of himself and his family.
