However, he expressed confidence in senior officials. He clarified that the FIR against Timmarodi is unrelated to this case, challenging, “If Timmarodi took even a rupee for this protest, let it be investigated.”He stressed that PIL does not mean Private Interest Litigation. Regarding human trafficking allegations in Dharmasthala, he questioned Dr. Mahabala Shetty’s claim of conducting 60-70 post-mortems, asking, “Why should a private hospital doctor be involved? They say Basavanna was taken away, but we need to know what happened to him.” These statements have sparked political debate, adding intensity to the SIT probe.Yashika Women's Trendy Banarasi Kanjivaram Navy Color Art Silk Saree with Blouse Material
