Mangaluru lawyers demand CBI probe in IPS Madhukar Shetty death case
Mangaluru: Mangaluru Lawyer’s Association President S P Changappa on Wednesday stressed that a CBI probe should be ordered in the death of senior IPS office Madhukar Shetty if the state government formed committee establishes suspicion on the treatment administered to the officer.
Speaking at a press conference in the city, Changappa said “Madhukar was admitted to Continental Hospital in Hyderabad with heart disease but he did not receive treatment for his disease for nearly 36 hours. But instead, it was alleged that he was treated for H1N1 disease” he said while adding that the report submitted by the five-member committee to investigate the treatment provided to the officer will play a key role in deciding the future course.
The committee that includes Dr. Deviprasad Shetty and Dr. P G Girish is expected to submit its finding in next few days.
He further added that “Senior ministers said that the prestigious police training academy of the state shall be renamed as ‘Dr. Madhukar Shetty Police Training Centre’ it should be implemented”.
Changappa further called on Government to initiate programs to felicitate the achievements and services of Madhukar Shetty, so that it can be an inspiration to the younger and future generations of the society.
Advocate Kishore D, Pramod Kumar, Vijay Mahantesh were also present at the press conference.
