Eshwarappa once again raises doubts over contractor Patil's suicide
Shivamogga: Days after being named as an accused for abetment of the suicide of contractor Santosh Patil, former minister K S Eshwarappa on Saturday raised doubts over the suicide while once again calling it a conspiracy.
Speaking to reporters here in the city, he said, “There is a conspiracy behind all this. The guilty should be punished. Whether it is a group of people, an organization or a party, we must know. Only then the deceased’s soul will rest in peace.”
Eshwarappa said initially he had felt that Santosh Patil might have committed suicide fearing the defamation notice served to him through the court for making allegations of corruption, but later on receiving more information, he suspected whether it was suicide or murder.
Further, he said that he sought approval of the party’s seniors and family members before submitting his resignation from the Ministry of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj of Karnataka.
