While the SIT officials who are on the massive manhunt for the suspects in the case,Bhavit and Naresh Gowda,the alleged prime suspect released a video claiming that they are nothing to do with the case and said that there is a conspiracy to implicate them.
Naresh Gowda released a video and admits that I know the woman in video,approached me stating that she has been cheated and sought help.
I told her to get the evidence and we have had conversation for few times,this does not mean that i have plotted everything.
The reason why i am not appearing before the SIT is for the abvious reasons.However ill appear before them in coming days and clarify.
Its a bigger plot and i have not taken money.I have borrowed loans paying EMI,if i had taken money why will cheque get bounce as if my salary gets late there will be a cheque and I am paying the charges for it.
The police are treating the people who helped the woman,and harassing them and their families,instead of investigating Ramesh Jarkiholi sleaze CD case.
The police instead of helping the woman,they are treating her as accused.
Meanwhile,social activist,Bhimappa Gundappa and Gadad filed a petition with cubbon park police seeking action against Ramesh Jharkiholi.
Based on his petition,the government formed SIT to probe about the CD, but why no action has been taken based on the statement of the woman,he questioned.He further requested the police to initiate action against Ramesh Jarkiholi .
Earlier SIT officials searched the house of the woman and a house in Basaveshwaranagar, where the prime suspect was staying.
A team headed by Assistant commissioner of police,HN Dharmendra and team searched the house on Wednesday night.Sources in SIT said that they have found some valuables including huge cash,SIM card and eletronic gadgets from her house.
The officials took a search warrant from the court before going for search.They have also recorded the statement of the woman’s building owner.
Upon searching the house of prime suspect the officials found laptop,pen drive and recepit of gold valuables purchased worth few lakh.
The officials are now verifying the source of income to buy gold and the alleged Suspect also organised a grand function of his daughter’s naming ceremony.
The officials have sent the seized devises to Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) to retrieve the deleted data if any.
The SIT team who was in contact with the Belagavi police and the family members of the woman after they lodged a case of kidnap in Belagavi have now taken up the investigation of the kidnap case too.
On the directions of DG and IGP,Praveen Sood the case was transferred to RT Nagar police station. Soon after registering the FIR the case was transferred to SIT.
On the other hand a team is also making efforts to trace the woman.The woman is changing the places for every one or two hours,according to SIT officials.
In continuation of tracking the three prime suspects in the CD scandal,the SIT officials on Wednesday picked up three more persons into questioning who are linked to Tumakuru based journo,a prime suspect in the case.
The SIT officials searched the residence of the detainees situated in Manjunathnagar and seized some documents for analysis.
One among the three picked up for questioning is said to be working for the prime suspect and said to have vital information about the scandal.
The SIT team during probe found a businessman has paid huge amount to the suspects in the case and has paid in cash to the CD gang to release the CD and now he is too absconding.
The SIT team is verifying all the suspects bank account transaction and with other technology skills they are investigating the case in all the angles.
His statement is important for the ongoing investigation,sources,said.
Meanwhile,SIT issued 3rd notice to the woman in CD to appear before them.
This is the third notice issued to her.The officials who are probing the case in all angles says that her statement is crucial for the ongoing investigation.
Though the woman issued a statement recently accusing that she has been cheated and harassed,her statement before the competent authority is considered more reliable and admissible in the court of law said senior officer.
In another development to CD scandal,KN Jagadish Kumar,city based advocate approached city police commissioner,Kamal Pant claiming that guidelines issued after Nirbhaya case has been violated and demanded necessary protection for the woman in CD.
The police and the government bound to provide security for the woman who in her recent video accused Ramesh Jharkiholi of cheating and sexual harassment and requested Home minister for security.
Instead of considering her statement as evidence and registering case against Ramesh Jharkiholi, the government is providing security and treating others as suspects whoever are supporting her.
When Ramesh Jharkiholi filed complaint,the police register FIR but why are they not doing the due diligence when Dinesh Kallahalli filed a complaint seeking detailed investigation into the scandal or when the woman request security through a video,mr Kumar questions.
Drawing parlance to Nityananda CD case,he said, even though the Godman claimed that it was consentual act,the CiD based on the statement of driver registered a case and probe.The same logic should be apllied here too,he demanded.
The victim had in her recent video request home minister for security and said that she has been cheated.Based on this the police should take cognizance and register suo motu case,instead of witch hunt and treating the woman as accused,he said.
He further requested the commissioner in his submission that the police should register a case against Ramesh and investigate in detail.
