BENGALURU: Congress has formed 10 teams that will protest in districts and step up pressure on the government to arrest BJP leader KS Eshwarappa and charge him under the Prevention of Corruption Act for allegedly abetting the suicide of contractor Santosh K Patil.
Patil, who had earlier alleged that Eshwarappa had sought a 40% commission for a Rs 4 crore project, was found dead in a lodge in Udupi on April 12. The day before, he had reportedly sent messages to his friends and reporters saying he would commit suicide and Eshwarappa was to blame.
