In his defence, Mr Eshwarappa questioned how messages on WhatsApp could be treated like suicide notes - no actual note was found near the body.
Senior Karnataka Congress leaders DK Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah were detained today during a protest march demanding the arrest of state Minister KS Eshwarappa who has refused to resign amid a massive controversy over his alleged role in the suicide of a contractor. Mr Eshwarappa, the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister, is named "Accused no.1" in a police case by the contractor's family.
Congress General Secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala, who was part of the protest, was also detained.
The Congress leaders were leading a march towards Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai's residence when they were stopped and detained by the police.
"We want the law of the land to be respected. This is the most corrupt government in the country. They are trying to safeguard the minister. Even the police are not taking action. Myself, Siddaramaiah and Randeep Singh Surjewala met the contractor's wife. She herself told us that the minister demanded 40% cut money," Mr Shivakumar, who is the Karnataka Congress president, told NDTV.
