Earlier, Ramesh Jarkiholi had spoken with Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa and the Home Minister and had demanded an investigation into the matter. The CM had directed Bommai to take a call on the issue. Speaking to the media earlier on Wednesday, Yediyurappa had said the Home Minister would take a suitable decision.
Bommai’s letter to police chief
The Home Minister’s letter to the city police commissioner states, “On 9.9.2010, Ramesh Jarkiholi, a former minister, had written a letter addressed to me and said that a petition against him (Ramesh) on 3-03-2013 was submitted at the Cubbon Park police station for the purpose of defaming him. In his letter, he spoke of a conspiracy against him.”
Bommai’s letter goes on to say, “In this context, I direct that a special investigation team headed by IGP Soumendu Mukherjee be formed and the full report be submitted to the government for further action.”
