Summary:
Bengaluru, Apr 25 (PTI) The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) probing the irregularities in the recruitment of police sub-inspectors in Karnataka has summoned Congress MLA Priyank Kharge, Home Minister Araga Jnanendra said on Monday.
Kharge had recently released an audio recording of a conversation regarding the irregularities (in the SI recruitment), which he said was submitted to him, Jnanendra said in a statement.
"The CID probing the irregularities in the SI recruitment has issued a notice to Priyank Kharge to appear before it for questioning.
I appeal to the MLA to display his responsibility and assist the CID, which is probing the case in the right direction, by sharing evidence with them," the minister said.
Kharge should cooperate with the probe by sharing the documents with him and other information with the CID officials and he should at least assist in ensuring legal action against those involved in the irregularities, he said.
"As an impartial probe is on, there is no question of sparing anyone however influential that person is," Jnanendra said.
