The minister reacted to former minister Kimmane Ratnakar’s statement on the death of a minor girl reported in 2014.
“The police at Central Bureau of Investigation are not gods. What they can do when all shreds of evidence are lost over the years”, said Home Minister Araga Jnanendra in response to a question on former minister Kimmane Ratnakar’s demand for a CBI probe into the death of a minor girl reported in Thirthahalli in 2014.
In an interaction with media in Shivamogga on Saturday, the Home Minister said the former minister could have got the issue probed in a proper manner and identified the accused. “He did not allow the real culprits to be arrested. Then he did vote bank politics on this issue. The CoD conducted the probe and they filed a B-report in the case. Now the file is closed”, he said.
