Eshwarappa claims DKS and Hebbalkar orchestrated arrest of BJP MLC Ravi
Former Deputy Chief Minister KS Eshwarappa has accused Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar and Minister Laxmi Hebbalkar of being behind the arrest of BJP MLC CT Ravi. He claims the rapid transfer of Ravi across three districts suggests ulterior motives. Eshwarappa criticized Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Home Minister G Parameshwara for their lack of involvement in the case. He expressed doubts about the Criminal Investigation Department's ability to conduct a fair investigation due to its ties to the state government. He called for a judicial inquiry to reveal the truth and criticized the police's handling of the situation as ineffective.
