The BJP MLA and former Union Minister Basanagouda Patil Yatnal has alleged that the State government had suspended police officials in its bid to cover up its failure in maintaining law and order.
Speaking to media persons after meeting Anjali Ambiger’s family, Yatnal alleged that law and order had collapsed in the twin cities leading to increased drug menace. However the Home Minister has ordered suspension of four police officials to cover up the government’s failure, he alleged.
He also alleged that because of political pressure, the police officials were unable to do their work freely. The drug menace had spread its tentacles across the State, including Bengaluru. The term strong action had just become a dialogue for the government, he claimed.
On April 22, Anjali’s family members had approached the Bendigeri Police station complaining about the threat issued by the accused Girish Sawanth, but the Police had not registered the case.
