Allegations Against DIG Central Range
Authorities have refuted allegations made by a woman against the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of the Central Range. The woman had leveled accusations, but police officials stated that a thorough inquiry found no substantiating evidence. The DIG continues to serve in his position, and the department has dismissed the claims as baseless.
Details of the Murder Case
Kumar was found dead under suspicious circumstances earlier this month. The Bannerghatta police launched an investigation, leading to the identification and arrest of four suspects. According to police sources, the accused were taken into custody after forensic evidence and witness testimonies pointed to their involvement. The motive behind the murder is still under investigation.

Speaking on the developments, a senior police officer said, "We have arrested four individuals and are gathering more evidence. The allegations against the DIG are completely false and were made with malicious intent." The officer added that the department would take legal action against those making unsubstantiated claims.
The arrests have brought some relief to the local community, who had been demanding swift action in the murder case. Police have assured that the investigation will continue to ensure all perpetrators are brought to justice.
