It is a matter of curiosity whether the department will file criminal case against the police officer concerned. Even if they do not, if Poojary says the same thing in the court, it may give rise to trouble for the officer. The officer, it is said, came in contact with Poojary when he was working as inspector at Mangaluru. He was working in an important position in the city police commissionerate here till recently, but was transferred after this allegation about his involvement with Ravi Poojary's illegal deeds was revealed.
