CID deleted all evidence before handing case to CBI: Ravi’s father
26 March 2015 11:38 PM GMT
The CID has deleted some of the CCTV footage in the digital video recorder installed at his residence, Hanumanthrayappa claimed. Facing rising public anger over the death of an upright IAS officer with growing clamour for a CBI probe, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had on Monday announced the government's decision to handover the case to the central agency, saying it had nothing to hide and was not protecting anyone. Hanumathrayappa, a local Congress leader, said CID had taken the CCTV footage two days after Ravi's death and returned it on March 23 and he was surprised to see some portions deleted.
"Two days after Ravi's death, the CID took away the footage and returned it on March 23. I was shocked to see the footage recorded before 10.30 AM on March 16 was deleted," Hanumnthrayappa told a news agency.
On March 16, the IAS officer was found hanging from a ceiling fan at his Koramangala apartment. Asked to throw light on what could be the vital contents in the deleted footage, Hanumanthrayappa said, "I would be able to tell only after I can get to see the deleted portion."
However, Hanumanthrayappa said he has heard and read in newspapers that the deleted footage shows Ravi shouting over a telephonic conversation to someone at the other end.
