Mangaluru, Dec 29: Former Lokayukta Justice Santosh Hegde said that "Madhukar Shetty was an ideal police officer who brought name to the police department. His honesty in work, courage and achievements are model to the young generation. I can't believe that such young, honest and dynamic officer is no more".
Condoling the death of senior police officer, Justice Hegde told reporters that Madhukar Shetty has lived like his father Vaddarse Raghuram Shetty, who was the editor of Mungaru newspaper, with commitment. He was an honest officer who did not yield to any influence during the operation on forest brigand Veerappan, Land scam near Bengaluru International Airport, Mining scam and others, he said.
"When I was Lokayukta, Madhukar Shetty was the officer who stood with me. Due to his honesty, daring attitude and not yielding to influence, he had to get the punishment transfers continuously. Such an officer is very rare. The state government should educate the young officers about Shetty", Justice Santosh Hegde said.

Jaipur (PTI): A constable posted in Didwana-Kuchaman was shunted to police lines after he allegedly reposted a post by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi using the official X handle of the district police.
The post, which alleged "vote theft" in Haryana by the central government and the Election Commission, was reposted on Wednesday evening. However, it was removed immediately after the matter came to the notice of senior officials.
Officials said that the police department does not support the post.
The constable was responsible for operating the X handle. He was removed from the duty and attached to police lines, the officials said.
Superintendent of Police Richa Tomar said that the police department does not support the post and it was removed immediately after it came to notice.
"The post may have been shared due to an individual's mistake or account hacking. A detailed inquiry has been assigned to the Additional Superintendent of Police, Didwana," the SP added.
The post had claimed irregularities in Haryana's voter list, including multiple votes registered under the same photo and duplicate entries across different constituencies.
