Bengaluru: After an First Information Report (FIR) was filed against minister K.J. George and senior IPS officers ADGP (Intelligence) A.M. Prasad and IGP (Lokayukta) Pronab Mohanty for abetting the suicide of late DySP M.K. Ganapati suicide, there is a confusion on who will be investigating the case. Madikeri police had earlier refused to file an FIR as Criminal Investigation Department (CID) was handling the investigations.

The confusion in DySP Ganapathi case is evident as there is no provision in law for parallel investigation by two agencies in the same case. Reports in the media surfaced on Wednesday that the investigations by the CID had stalled after an FIR was filed at Madikeri police station. It was also reported that the CID team had returned from Madikeri to Bengaluru.

The government had handed over an unnatural death report (UDR) case of the deceased officer to CID on July 8.

“Though it has not been made official, the court order will override the government order. If required, the investigating officer will seek assistance from the CID,” said an officer on condition of anonymity.

Sources said that the police re likely to submit the report to the JMFC Court by the first week of August.
