Bengaluru: Home Minister Dr. G. Parameshwara clarified that the name of Director General of Police Pranav Mohanty, who is the head of the SIT, is in the Central Government’s deputation list and the state government has not taken a decision to send him to central service.

Speaking to reporters in the city, he said that a lot of misconceptions are being created about this. The government decided that a DG-level officer should be made the head of the SIT. We have appointed Pranav Mohanty. His name is in the Central Government’s deputation list. The state government has not taken any decision to send him to central service, he said.

Unfounded postings are being made on social media about this. This does not look right. What is the government’s interest in the case? Asked why they formed the SIT, he said that the only thing important for the government is that the truth should come out in the case.

We have formed an SIT in this regard. After the SIT conducts an investigation and submits a report, the truth will come out. That is all we want. There is no politics in this. The government certainly does not have an agenda to protect or trap anyone. No one should view it with the wrong impression. We have said that it should be investigated transparently. This is the agenda of the government, he said.

Before submitting Nagamohan Das report to the government on internal reservation, let us discuss it. No one should feel bored on this issue. I have called the meeting to clarify our opinions. He said that the opinions will be known after the discussion.

It is being said that the internal reservation report is complete. It has not been submitted yet. He said that it will be submitted soon. It is appropriate to discuss internal communities. He said that no one will put a brake on the MLAs talking about internal reservation.

An SOP has been made in the jurisdiction of the Bangalore City Commissionerate. It will be implemented. The department has had many experiences. Therefore, lakhs of people are not expected to gather. The president says that leaders and activists will come from nearby districts. We will take all kinds of precautions from the police department. He said that Rahul Gandhi has been given Z plus security.

It was reported earlier that there are spy cells in Bengaluru. The investigating agency has found out. The woman who had links with the Al Qaeda organization is not from Karnataka. He said that the investigating agency has not shared information about this.

The accused who were manufacturing MDMA in Mysore had come twenty days ago. When the accused was caught in Mumbai, they came based on a tip. Even in our state, when such cases come to light, our police go to other states and bring back the accused. He clarified that this is a process that happens all over the country.

We will start towing by the department in Bengaluru city. Earlier, a contract was given. This time the police will do the towing. We will not give a contract to any company. Traffic is being caused by parking vehicles on the road. Where there is a rule that parking should not be allowed, people park their vehicles there. What should be done in such a situation. The road was made for people to walk. Not for parking. He said that this question had come up earlier when he was the minister in-charge of Bengaluru city. He said, “I would suggest that people should behave with humanity. If there is a dispute, isn’t there a law?”
