Bengaluru: The fact that DySP M K Ganapathi did not make mention of any kind of harassment in his station diary, the case in all likelihood may take a new turn.

M K Ganapathi, attached to IG Office in Mangaluru had ended life in July 2016, after giving a television interview stating that he was under immense pressure from former home minister K J George and IPS officers AM Prasad and Pranob Mohanthy.

He had hanged himself in a hotel room in Madikeri and after the incident the CID started the probe into the case that had stirred widespread agitations across the state, including the Assembly floor.

A police officer has all the freedom and the right to write about pressure that he is facing within his work avenues in the station diary. If the officer is being pressurised or harassment or even threatened by either politicians or higher-ups, he has the right to write it in the station diary. But, in case of Ganapathi, he has made no mention of harassment ever during his police career that spanned from 1994 to 2016 and this point may come as a huge blessing to the three accused in Ganapathi suicide case, say CID sources.
