Karnataka Rashtra Samithi demands thorough investigation into Mahesh Reddy's death case
Bengaluru: Karnataka Rashtra Samithi State President Ravi Krishna Reddy has demanded that an unbiased investigation be conducted in the death case of Mahesh Reddy, a close acquaintance of Health Minister B Sriramulu.
Mahesh Reddy alias Umamaheshwar Reddy, a native of Ballari district, had died under mysterious circumstances on May 29.
Ravi Krishna Reddy, who has written to Praveen Sood, Karnataka DG and IGP, said that the media has been claiming that, although Mahesh Reddy had died in the residence of Sriramulu, his body was taken to Ballari where his death was declared to be a natural death.
The body has not been subjected to a Corona test. It is also learned that, in spite of suspicion of unnatural death, no postmortem was conducted. There are also serious allegations raised regarding the incident. The death should, therefore, be closely investigated, Ravi Krishna Reddy has requested the DG and IGP.
There are rumors of Mahesh Reddy having learned of police officers being hand-in-glove with illegal cigarette vendors. He is also said to have been involved in the illegal use of crores of rupees that the government had granted for the purchase of medical equipment for Corona control, said Ravi Krishna Reddy.
He stressed that the case was serious in many ways and urged the police officer to ensure that an unbiased investigation was conducted.
