Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has said that the police will decide on the arrest of RDPR Minister K.S. Eshwarappa in connection with the death of contractor Santosh Patil.
Speaking to mediapersons in Hubballi on April 15, Mr. Bommai said, “Congress leaders need not become the investigating officer, prosecutor and the judge in the Santosh Patil suicide case. Let them allow a free and thorough investigation.”
On the demand for the arrest of Mr. Eshwarappa, he said that in case of former minister K.J. George, who faced charges in the death of police officer Ganapathy, both CBI and police did not arrest him.
