Bengaluru, Dec 31: Suspecting that senior IPS officer Madhukar Shetty who is known for his honesty and integrity, might have died due to wrong treatment, Rajya Raitha Sangha leader Puttaswamy urged the state government to conduct an investigation into the death.

Speaking to reporters at Ramanagar on Monday, he said that there was a resemblance in the death of socialist leader Dr Ram Manohar Lohia and Madhukar Shetty. It was said later that Lohia died due to wrong treatment. Same thing could have happened in Madhukar Shetty’s case also.

Madhukar Shetty was physically and mentally fit. It is still suspicious on how he was afflicted with H1N1. After his death, blood stains were found on the right side of the mouth and inside the nose, he said.

There is a doubt that the doctors who treated him at the hospital have treated him on H1N1 instead of treating him on heart-related disease. So, the government should initiate probe into the death of the officer.

The government should constitute a special investigating team comprising expert doctors and senior officers.

Many people including Water Resources Minister DK Shivakumar expressed their suspicion on the death of Madhukar Shetty. Before destroying the evidences, the government should start investigation, he demanded.

New Delhi (PTI): The CBI on Friday questioned industrialist Anil Ambani for the second consecutive day in connection with a Rs 2,929-crore cheating case, registered against Reliance Communications Ltd and him on a complaint by the State Bank of India, officials said.

Ambani arrived at the agency headquarters at around 10 am, they said.

On Thursday, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) sought his responses on alleged fund diversion, misappropriation and other irregularities in the loan funds issued to the company by the bank, they said.

"The appearance is in furtherance to Mr Ambani's commitment to extend full cooperation in the matter with all agencies," Anil D Ambani's Spokesperson had said in a statement on Thursday.

The CBI had booked Ambani in August last year for allegedly defrauding the SBI to the tune of Rs 2,929 crore, officials said.

According to the SBI complaint, now part of the FIR, the company had an outstanding of over Rs 40,000 crore to various lenders, with the public sector bank alone facing a loss of Rs 2,929 crore, according to 2018 figures.

The CBI booked Ambani and RCom for allegedly committing offences of criminal conspiracy, cheating and criminal breach of trust.

"It is alleged that the accused persons, in criminal conspiracy, misrepresented and got sanctioned credit facilities from SBI in favour of Reliance Communication Ltd," a CBI spokesperson said in a statement in August last year.

Ambani's spokesperson responded, "Anil D Ambani denies all allegations and charges, and will duly defend himself."

According to sources, the agency also searched the Ambani residence 'Sea Wind' at Cuffe Parade in Mumbai.

The complaint filed by SBI pertains to matters dating back more than 10 years, according to Ambani's spokesperson.

At that time, Ambani was a non-executive director of the company, with no involvement in the day-to-day management, a statement from his spokesperson then said.

"The matter remains sub-judice, pending before the NCLT (National Company Law Tribunal) and other judicial forums, including the Supreme Court, for the past six years," it said.

Anil Ambani has duly challenged SBI's declaration before the competent judicial forum, it said.
