Additional Director-General of Police (SIT), Lokayukta, M. Chandrashekar writing a letter to his colleagues, accusing Union Minister H. D. Kumaraswamy of making false and malicious allegations and threats to deter SIT has ruffled the feathers of the latter, who has labelled the police officer a “blackmailer and criminal”.
