The brother of the contractor who allegedly ended his life after accusing Rural Development & Panchayat Raj Minister K.S. Eshwarappa of corruption announced that the family will not carry out the last rites unless the Minister is arrested.
In Belagavi, Santosh Patil’s brother Prashant demanded the immediate arrest of Eshwarappa, saying the RDPR Minister’s corrupt ways had led to the death of his brother. “We will not carry out the last rites of my brother till Eshwarappa is arrested,” Prashant Patil told journalists in Belagavi on April 12.
Prashant Patil had gone to the police station at Belagavi Camp to lodge a missing complaint. He was shocked to learn that his brother’s body had been found in a lodge in Udupi.
