A day after senior IPS officer Ravindranath resigned in protest against his transfer, a delegation of legislators, who are part of the committee on Scheduled Castes, led by M.P. Kumaraswamy met Chief Secretary P. Ravikumar and urged him not to accept the resignation.
Legislators, including N. Mahesh and P. Rajeev, were part of the delegation. Mr. Kumaraswamy said that Dr. Ravindranath had issued notices to those accused of getting employment based on false caste certificates after the matter had been discussed in the committee.
Former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy also urged the State Government not to accept the resignation. He accused the Government of transferring him after he started probing officials who have submitted false caste certificate. He also alleged that former police official Kempaiah had given a fake certificate, but held strategic posts.
