JOIN USLeader of the Opposition in the Assembly Jagadish Shettar said on Saturday that upright and honest officers in the state were dying under mysterious circumstances in the recent past.
IAS officer D K Ravi and DySP Ganapati died under suspicious circumstances and now IAS officer Anurag Tewari, who was serving as commissioner of food and civil supplies, has died under mysterious circumstances.
Anupama Shenoy, unable to bear the harassment and interference of elected representatives in her work, resigned as DySP. These instances prove honest officials were being harassed, he said at a BJP event in the city.
“Tewari was an efficient officer and had served under various capacities in Kolar, Bidar, Kodagu, and Chamarajanagar. There was speculation that Tewari was about to unearth a Rs 2,000-crore scam in his department. To bring out the truth, the government must hand over the probe into Tiwari’s death to the CBI,” he said.
