BJP leader Ameen Reddy Patil Yalagi has urged the State government to hand over case of multi-crore funds misappropriation that has been registered in the Shahapur Police Station to the CBI for a detailed investigation.
Addressing a press conference, Mr. Yalagi said that the case related to misappropriation of multi-crore funds in Matoshri Hemareddy Mallamma Souharda Sahakara Sangha has been registered in Shahapur Police Station following a complaint by its long-term president Basanagouda Venkatarayagouda Malipatil.
The police have handed over the case to the CID since the misappropriated amount exceeds ₹7 crore.
Meanwhile, the complainant, Mr. Malipatil was found dead in his residence in Shahapur on June 30 after he was put under continuous pressure and was forced to face false allegations from depositors and bankers and also, a settlement in the presence of elders was rendered unsuccessful, Mr. Yalagi explained.
He said that Mr. Malipatil left a note and also a video in which he has narrated the entire episode.
He suspected that influential people may be involved in the misappropriation of funds. Thus, the State government should hand the case over to the CBI for a thorough investigation to bring out the truth and help hundreds of depositors get justice.
Mr. Yalagi targeted MLA Sharanabasappa Darshanapur for not solving the issue to protect the interests of people. If Mr. Darshanapur had intervened, Mr. Malipatil wouldn’t have taken the extreme step.
He urged the police to make Mr. Malipati’s note public.
Following the June 30 incident, Mr. Malipatil’s son has lodged a case in the Shahapur Police Station in connection with his father’s death. The police have registered a case and launched an investigation.
BJP district president Basavaraj Veebhutihalli, Rajshekhar Gugal, Parashuram Kurkundi, Guru Kama, Tirupathi and others were present.
