Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, son Nikhil Kumaraswamy, one other booked; FIR registered
Bengaluru: An FIR has been registered at Sanjay Nagar police station in Bengaluru against Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, based on a complaint filed by SIT ADGP M. Chandrashekhar.
A month ago, SIT ADGP M. Chandrashekhar had lodged a complaint at Sanjay Nagar police station against Kumaraswamy, his son Nikhil Kumaraswamy, and Suresh Babu regarding threats and false allegations. Initially, the police had filed an NCR based on this complaint. Now, following a court order, a case has been registered against all three, including Kumaraswamy.
Chandrashekhar had mentioned in his police complaint that additional evidence related to case number 16/2014, filed against Kumaraswamy, had surfaced. As a result, he sought permission from the Governor to take legal action against him. Following this, on September 28 and 29, Kumaraswamy held press conferences where, according to Chandrashekhar, he made false and malicious allegations and issued threats against him.
Chandrashekhar further alleged in his complaint that he had been verbally threatened with a transfer out of the Karnataka cadre and that Kumaraswamy falsely accused him of continuing in the Karnataka cadre with fake medical records from Bowring Hospital.
The court had been approached for permission to register a case against the Union Minister. The court has now granted permission to investigate the matter, and accordingly, the Sanjay Nagar police have registered the case.
In the FIR, Kumaraswamy is listed as accused no. 1 (A1), Nikhil as accused no. 2 (A2), and Suresh Babu as accused no. 3 (A3).
