Bengaluru, Oct 14: Former deputy chief minister and Congress leader, Dr G Parameshwara, clarified here on Sunday October 13, that his aide, Ramesh, who ended his life, had nothing do with the administration of Siddhartha Medical College. 

Speaking to media persons here on Sunday, Parameshwara confirmed that Ramesh was his personal assistant. He hastened to add at the same time, that it would be wrong too construe that Ramesh was overseeing all his dealings. 

"Ramesh was my personal assistant. Can a personal assistant manage our operations?" he wondered. At the same time, he expressed deep anguish at the death of Ramesh and hailed him for discharging his duties efficiently and perfectly.

He also said that Ramesh was very honest. He dismissed the notion being spread by some television news channels that Ramesh was in charge of all his dealings. He again confirmed that Ramesh did not have anything to do with his transactions.

Death of Parameshwara's personal assistant - Police intensify probe 

The police belonging to the city (west) division here, who have taken up investigation relating to the suicide committed by Ramesh, personal assistant of former deputy chief minister, Dr G Parameshwara, on Sunday October 13, questioned Parameshwara's car driver, Anil. 

Anil has been working for Parameshwara as car driver since the last several years. Therefore, there was strong bond of friendship between Ramesh and Anil. The police however, claimed that Anil was questioned to get information about the people in Ramesh's close circles and sent back. They added that this is part of normal process of investigation. 

In the meantime, it is gathered that the police also collected information from over 40 residents living near Ramesh's residence at Ullala Road here on Sunday. The death note, and two cell phones belonging to Ramesh which were taken into possession by the police, were sent to forensic science laboratory for testing.
