On October 23, the Karnataka High Court questioned the Amruthahalli police about an unusual sequence of events surrounding former MLC H M Ramesh Gowda. The court sought clarification from the station house officer (SHO) on why a complaint against Gowda, filed on October 1, was initially dismissed as a non-cognizable offense, only for an extortion FIR to be registered later the same day.
This inquiry arose as the high court heard a petition from Gowda, who is seeking to have the FIR quashed. The timing and handling of the case have raised concerns, with the court demanding an explanation for the sudden shift in the police’s actions on the same day. The situation has prompted speculation about the procedures and decision-making process of the authorities involved.
As the legal battle unfolds, this case has garnered significant attention, highlighting the need for transparency and consistency in law enforcement. The court’s scrutiny will be crucial in determining the next steps in the case against the former MLC.
