Madhukar Shetty is rare police officer: Justice Santosh Hegde
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.
