Investigation needed: CT Ravi reacts on two top IPS officers spat over Rs 619 cr CCTV tender
CT Ravi on Monday said, “I will not get into the details of it. But there is a need to investigate some of the points raised in the case.”
FollowIn the latest update in the IPS woman officer D Roopa allegedly impersonating the state Home Secretary, BJP National General Secretary CT Ravi reacted on the case and said there is a need to investigate some of the points raised.
IPS officer Hemant Nimbalkar and Karnataka Home Secretary D Roopa have been in a cold war as the former on Sunday said that the tender process in the multi-crore Bengaluru Safe City Project was not biased amid allegations of irregularities in the tender process. Karnataka Home Secretary D Roopa on Saturday had alleged that there were irregularities in the tender called for the project, particularly that Hemant Nimbalkar was trying to favour a private company.
CT Ravi on Monday said, “I will not get into the details of it. But there is a need to investigate some of the points raised in the case.”
According to a report on The News Minute, Roopa has written a letter dated December 26 to state Chief Secretary Vijaya Bhaskar alleging that fellow IPS officer Hemanth Nimbalkar has made a false and motivated complaint against her.
She has further demanded a probe against Nimbalkar, alleging in turn that he was trying to favour a private company in the Bengaluru Safe City Project.
On Friday, Times of India published a report that an unnamed IPS officer had impersonated the Home Secretary to get confidential information about the project from a private auditor tasked with drawing up the tender documents for the project. The content of the report is on the lines of a complaint written by IPS officer Hemant Nimbalkar, Additional Commissioner of Police (Administration) to the Karnataka Chief Secretary on December 7.
