BELAGAVI: Notwithstanding the assurance given by the BJP leadership that he will be re-inducted into the state cabinet once he gets a clean chit in the sex CD case, former water resources minister Ramesh Jarkiholi landed in Delhi on Tuesday afternoon and met several BJP and RSS leaders in the evening. 

Sources close to Jarkiholi said the latter is not ready to rely on either Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa or the party leaders in Karnataka and that is why he rushed to Delhi in haste to meet the top leadership to make sure that he is re-inducted into the cabinet at the earliest.

After a meeting with his brothers and family in Gokak on Monday, Jarkiholi had decided to wait for some days without meeting any of the leaders until the government filed a B-report to close the CD case. However, Jarkiholi changed his mind suddenly on Tuesday and rushed to Delhi.

He met former Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at the residence of a senior RSS leader in the capital and held a 45-minute meeting before speaking to media persons in the evening. He said he had been backstabbed by three BJP leaders in Karnataka and that he would teach them a fitting lesson.
While denying reports that he would resign as MLA, Jarkiholi said there was no question of quitting the assembly seat. 

Jarkiholi did not disclose more on his meeting with Fadnavis but sources said he would not stop until the party helped him get back into the state cabinet. 

“Jarkiholi is expected to meet some other top party leaders in Delhi to get the CD case closed as soon as possible. A court hearing into the CD case is scheduled to come up in Karnataka High Court in a few days,” sources added.

The Gokak MLA is in touch with most of the BJP leaders, including Fadnavis, who were involved in the ‘Operation Lotus’ to help bring 17 other party MLAs into the BJP to help BS Yediyurappa form the government.

The West division police taken Mala and her son Arul into custody till July 2 to probe in detail about the reason behind the gruesome murder of Rekha Kadiresh in front of her office on Thursday.

Senior officer told media persons,Mala and Arul are prime accused in the case that gave supari to Peter,to eliminate Rekha.Rekha was growing politically strong and even her name was proposed by the BJP for the upcoming BBMP elections.

Mala wanted to gain the control of area politically and wanted her daughter in law to contest the election,but Rekha was the major hurdle .

Rekha was not only growing strong in the area but also ignoring Mala and Kadiresh family which was one of the reason behind her murder.

Mala realized that Rekha had even sidelined her close confidant Peter completely,she approached Peter and offered Supari to eliminate promising huge sum of money and also promised to bear legal expenses.

The police team who suspected Mala’s role in the murder began to gather details from the neighbours in the area and after gathering evidence the team arrested her after confirming her involvement .

While one team of police is grilling Mala and Arul, the other teams continue to track down other accused who were part of the conspiracy and execution of murder.

BJP’s NR Ramesh submitted a written complaint against Atush to interrogate him in the case as we suspect he is involved in the murder supporting financially to kill the Former BJP corporator Rekha Kadiresh he said in his letter.

Cops to Re-open Rowdy Sheet against Peter :

The flower garden area in cottonpet police station limits where the Former Councillor Rekha Kadiresh was hacked to death in broad daylight had a over two decade history of bloody gang wars and series of murder which the police failed to contain.

Though police acted swiftly and cracked the murder and arrested the accused the fact that gruesome murder of Rekha,a woman former  councillor in broad day light,has brought some embarassing moments for the police.

The area is situated behind Vinayaka Theatre on Mysore road,surrounded by four police stations including CCB head office with the Organised Crime Wing,which failed to contain the rowdy activities at its backyard .  

Admitting the failure on their part a senior police officer told reporters,that the murder of Rekha Kadiresh is hard to prevent since family members involved.

However the police failed to notice the growing resentment between Rekha and others,due to a weak intelligence network and improper documentation which is basic to keep tabs on the anti-social elements and gangs.

Another significant factor about bad policing is  that the police revoked rowdy-sheet  against Peter in 2018 despite there were half a dozen cases of murder,robbery and a assault cases pending against him.

After the death of Kadiresh,Rekha kept Peter away and did not support him financially.Upset about this Peter got into his old drug peddling business to eke out a living before he was offered a supari allegedly by Mala to eliminate Rekha,a police officer,said .

With the murder case of Rekha and Peter’s arrest, the police are going to reopen rowdy sheet against him again.

The flower garden area with majority of the  pockets like Anjinappa garden,Bakshi garden, Binny mill,peer boundary,Tippu nagar and  Anandapura has been dominated by gangs for the last two decades,running drug peddling and illicit liquor business .  

It started in 2000 with Alaimani,a notorious gangster who was killed in an encounter for a series of robberies,rapes and peddling .

There are Jhopdi Rajendra,Garden Mani,Surya Appu,Surya Appu,Guppa,Kencha Muruga who attacked each other in a bid to dominate the area and killed each other . 

While some of them including Aatush and  Kadiresh succeeded and made their career in politics .  

The police having good knowledge and documented every gang and gangsters,they failed to prevent attacks and murders occured in the city every time .

Except the  murder of Garden Mani case,no murder cases or any criminal cases reported in the area and charge sheets gets conviction,

Police security stepped up in the area following the murder with police intensified patroling and trying to revoke the local intelligence network to gather advance information and tracking the habitual offenders to regain the control over the area.

This exercise should be done as routine and tough police officers should be deployed to tackle the gangs and withstand political pressures he added.
