The closure report by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the death of Paresh Mesta, ruling it not a case of murder, has embarrassed the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which had made allegations of torture and murder of the youth in 2017, in the run up to the 2018 Assembly polls.
Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah, whose government had come under attack then, has described the CBI closure report a “slap on the face of BJP.”
