Mysuru: Director general of the Administrative Training Institute, Rashmi V. Mahesh, has written to the Chief Secretary suggesting that a judicial inquiry or a CBI investigation be ordered into the October 15 attack on her near the institute when she went to condole the death of mess in- charge, H. Venkatesh, said sources.
But when contacted, Chief Secretary Kaushik Mukherjee said he had not received any such letter from Ms Rashmi and nor had she asked for any higher probe into the matter.
The CID is currently looking into the attack. Ms Rashmi had in her report to the Chief Secretary following the attack alleged that it was an attempt to draw attention away from the Rs 100 crore scam she claimed to have dug up at the ATI during the tenure of her predecessor, Amita Prasad.
She told him she would have been lynched but for the fact that she did not lose her balance and fall down and accused the police of deliberately staying away during her visit, on the orders of ADGP Intelligence, A. M. Prasad , husband of Amita Prasad.
Meanwhile CID nails local cops for lapses
The CID has reportedly nailed the jurisdictional police in Mysuru for alleged lapse in providing security to IAS officer and the Director General of Administrative Training Institute (ATI) Rashmi V. Mahesh, who was assaulted by a mob on October 15, when she had gone to pay her last respects to a canteen contract worker Venkatesh, who was found dead in a sump in the ATI campus earlier that morning.
She had alleged that the attack on her was “premeditated” and that the police were instructed not to prevent the violence or come to her aid.
The government had handed over the investigation to the CID to find out if there was a lapse on the part of the police in preventing the attack on the IAS officer.
