DSP MK Ganapathi suicide case: CBI submits charge-sheet to court

Bengaluru: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), investigating the sensational case on the death of DySP M K Ganapathi submitted a 260-page chargesheet to a court on Wednesday, October 30.

As per the sources, CBI team headed by Subodh from Chennai submitted its report to judge Manu, following which the judge has transferred the case to the special court for the trial of elected representatives in Bengaluru.

MK Ganapathi allegedly killed himself in a lodge in Kodagu on July 7, 2016, when he was Deputy Superintendent of Police, Mangaluru. In a video message, he named KJ George, AM Prasad and Pranab Mohanty responsible for his extreme step.

On September 5, the apex court ordered a CBI investigation in the former cop’s suicide.

While hearing the plea of Ganapathi’s father, M K Kushalapp said, “There are certain startling facts in the case. Whether it is murder or suicide, it is required to be investigated in a fair manner”.

Ganapathi’s wife Pavana and son Nehal had distanced themselves from the case since then. BUt Kushalapp had moved the apex court challenging the order of the Karnataka High Court, which rejected his plea for CBI probe into the death case.

The Karnataka government opposed the plea in the Supreme Court and submitted that a thorough and in-depth probe had been conducted in the case.
