July 19, 2016 22:18

An FIR was today registered against former Minister K J George, naming him as the first accused in connection with the alleged suicide of DySP M K Ganapathy that forced his exit as minister.

A day after the Additional Judicial Magistrate First Class direction, Madikeri town police filed the FIR against George and two top IPS officers under IPC section 306 (abatement of suicide) read with 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention).

Pranab Mohanty (IGP-Lokayukta) is named as the second accused and A M Prasad (IG-Intelligence) as third accused, police said. Hours before his death, in an interview to a local TV channel, Ganapathy had said George and Prasad and Mohanty were harassing him and they would be responsible "if anything happens to me."

Earlier, several Hindu outfits today held protest in front of the Town police station demanding that police file the FIR. The protesters staged a 'rasta roko' disturbing traffic for about half-an-hour.
