Madikeri: Madikeri JMFC Court has ordered police to register FIR against Bengaluru Development Minister K J George, and two IPS officers – IGP Pronab Mohanty and ADGP A M Prasad in connection with DySP Ganapathy suicide case. The complaint was filed by Nehal, son of Ganapathy on July 11 seeking direction to Kodagu police to investigate against the trio for abetting his father’s suicide.
In wake of court issuing order to register FIR, Siddaramaiah called for emergency meeting with senior members of his Cabinet. The CM and other ministers are reportedly contemplating to move the High Court challenging the lower court order.

Meanwhile, BJP senior leader K S Eshwarappa has urged police to file criminal case against the trio in the case. “Since Siddaramaiah himself is an advocate, he should be knowing more than us about law,” he added.

DySP M K Ganapathi in an interview to a news channel, hours before his death on July 7, blamed George, Mohanty and Prasad, foreseeing danger to his life.
