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”.

Speaking to mediapersons here on Sunday, the Union Minister accused the Congress government of trying to protect itself by using such tainted officials. He also stated that he would submit documents related to the alleged illegal activities of the official to the Union Home Secretary.

Mr. Chandrashekar in the letter had said that: “an accused, however, high and mighty he may be, is an accused.”

Referring to this, Mr. Kumaraswamay said: “I might be an accused in this case, but that officer is a criminal in disguise of a policeman. There are allegations against him related to a series of criminal activities.” 

Hinting at a bigger conspiracy behind such a letter, Mr. Kumaraswamy said: “Mr. Chandrashekar has addressed a letter to his colleagues. I know who prepared that letter and where. I will reveal about this in due course of time.” 

The Union Minister said: “the letter by the official was prepared quite well. After I held a press conference on Saturday morning, I know where that officer went in the evening. I also know which legal experts helped him draft the letter and who else was involved.“  

Referring to the allegations that the above official had served the State when he was the Chief Minister, Mr. Kumaraswamy said he had not allowed him to behave like this then.
