Mangalore Today News Network

Bengaluru, Nov 30, 2020:     Bengaluru police probing the attempted suicide of BS Yediyurappa’s political secretary NR Santosh has to wait till he is discharged from the hospital to get his statement. Deccan Herald quoted an investigating officer saying that Santosh did not cooperate with them and refused to give a statement citing his health condition. As a result the officer said he will be questioned only after his discharge. This occurred after Santosh was shifted to a ward on Saturday after spending hours in the critical care unit. Following his hospital admission, Sadashivanagar police had registered a case against Santosh for this under  IPC section 309 (attempt to commit sucide). As reported earlier Santosh was  found unconscious in his reading room by his family members on Friday night. Following this, his family members had rushed him to MS Ramaiah Hospital, in the vicinity. After his hospitalisation, Santosh’s wife Jhanavi had said that although on Friday morning he appeared jovial, Santosh was facing a lot of political pressure and was apprehensive about losing his standing, The couple had also attended a wedding in the evening, but Santosh reportedly turned melancholic. Santosh, who was instrumental in bringing BS Yediyurappa to power, was reportedly losing his place in the state’s political landscape. Santosh was reportedly further ignored following recent successes of BS Yediurappa’s son Vijayendra in helping the BJP win the bye-polls .
