Former Congress MP DK Suresh on Saturday demanded the dismissal of BJP MLA Munirathna and an apology from the BJP after a viral audio clip surfaced, allegedly featuring Munirathna using abusive language and threatening a Dalit contractor and his wife.
Contractor Chaluvaraju accused BJP MLA Munirathna of threatening him with the same fate as Renukaswamy if his alleged demand for Rs 20 lakhs as commission for a contract was not met.
The Bengaluru police on Wednesday submitted a charge sheet in a secure box to the court against 17 accused in the Renukaswamy murder case, including star Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa and his friend Pavithra Gowda, Bengaluru Police said.
Former Chief Minister of Karnataka and Member of Parliament, Basavaraj Bommai, has urged authorities to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation into the murder of Renukaswamy, a 33-year-old from Chitradurga, whose body was found in Kamakshipalya, Bengaluru, on June 9.
