Bengaluru, December 7
After the opulent wedding of his daughter post demonetisation, G Janardhan Reddy is at the centre of a fresh row, with the car driver of a state official allegedly committing suicide, leaving a note claiming he got Rs 100 crore converted into white money for the mining baron for the marriage.
KC Ramesh allegedly committed suicide by consuming poison at a lodge at Maddur in Mandya district yesterday, leaving a death note. In the note, Ramesh listed alleged illegal activities committed by Bheema Nayak, special land acquisition officer (Bengaluru).
Holding the official and his personal driver responsible for his death, Ramesh alleged that there was a threat to his life as he came to know the illegalities allegedly committed by Nayak and how he recently got the money converted for the wedding of Reddy's daughter. The police said they have registered a case and an investigation is on.
“He (Nayak) had got converted Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 notes belonging to them (Reddy) worth Rs 100 crore for 20 per cent (commission) to Rs 50, Rs 100 and Rs 2,000 notes," Ramesh alleged in the death note. Since he was aware of all these things, they had threatened him with dire consequences and told him they would get him killed by rowdies, he alleged in the note. — PTI
