Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (SP)
Bengaluru, Aug 10: Criminal Investigation Department (CID) officers, who have been investigating allegation made by deputy superintendent of police (DySP), M K Ganapati, before committing suicide that three persons, a minister an two senior police officers, had harassed him, have found that Ganapati had not made any mention about pressure brought on him by higher ups in station diaries.
This point may help former minister, K J George, and senior police officers, Pranav Mohanty and A M Prasad, to get clean chit.
Police officials have the provision to mention about pressure brought on them or any other issues in the station diaries. Sources in CID said that Ganapati had, during his service from 1994 to 2016, never recorded any such harassment in station diaries. If there was a mention in the diaries, the statement made by Ganapati during his interview given to a local channel at Madikeri before ending his life would have got some credence, officials say.

The officials have been looking for documentary proof in support of allegation made by Ganapati. It would be very difficult to rely entirely on verbal statements and allegations.
In the meanwhile, sources said that during the investigation by CID officers at Mangaluru, Ganapati's wife, Pavana, has reiterated that her husband was tormented by George, Prasad, and Mohanty and that harassment meted out by these three had forced her husband to commit suicide.
