BENGALURU: Karnataka Lokayukta P Vishwanatha Shetty used to be on Wednesday stabbed at least three times by a businessman who had managed to deliver a knife into the ombudsman’s chamber, exposing main security lapses. While he used to be stabbed at round 1.30pm, Shetty underwent a successful surgical procedure later in the day and docs said his condition used to be solid.
Arrested mins after he had stabbed Shetty in his stomach, the man used to be recognized as Tejraj Sharma from Tumakuru, a businessman in his late thirties, who had unsuccessfully tried supplying furniture to several executive officers.
His failure to win even a single bid had seen him sign up more than one lawsuits with the Lokayukta against at least 18 executive officials who he claimed had been corrupt, thereby denying him the projects.
However, the ombudsman’s workplace had already closed several of those lawsuits claiming that the fees made had been untrue, and the police suspect that this could have brought on the attack on Shetty.
Sharma had walked into the Lokayukta’s workplace in the MS Building, about 1.5km from MG Road right here, at about 12.45pm. Having entered his identify in the visitor’s sign up, he first met Lalithamma, the assistant registrar (enquiry) and later returned to the reception searching for to fulfill Shetty.
He then got a visitor’s chit which he used to be supposed to handover on the Shetty’s workplace and wait his turn to fulfill the ombudsman. Eyewitnesses said that his wait—from about 12.50pm to the time he gained entry into Shetty’s chamber—were hectic and impatient, and that he had even made two trips to the first ground the place Shetty sits before he finally managed to go into.
At about 1.25pm, Sharma went back to the first ground and consulted the on-duty constable outside Shetty’s chamber who asks him to attend as a bunch of presidency advocates and case employees had been assembly Shetty. About five mins later, the gang left Shetty’s workplace and Sharma took the opportunity to achieve get entry to with out handing over the visitor’s chit and looking forward to Shetty to summon him inside of.
Just 3 mins after he had entered the chamber, other folks outside heard a scream and Sharma used to be seen operating outside.
Palaniswamy a Jamadhar (junior staff) operating on the Lokayukta workplace said: “The guy in a white blouse entered and in lower than 3 mins I heard the Lokayukta’s scream. I was just about the door and noticed the man operating out with a knife. However, I determined to not pursue him and check on justice Shetty as I assumed he can have been injured. Soon, Asha and Latha, non-public assistants of the Lokayukta rushed into the chamber, and I asked them to deliver water.”
Shetty, he said, used to be protecting his abdomen and his head used to be striking down. After giving him water, Palaniswamy and Chidambaram, any other junior staff pushed the chair Shetty used to be seated on against the raise, brought him down and put him into a automotive that took him to the hospital.
He used to be brought to Mallya hospital at about 2pm and used to be straight away admitted to the emergency and given first assist. The staff of docs them conducted exams and he used to be taken into surgical procedure at about 3.50pm.
The opposition parties—both BJP and the JD(s)—criticised the federal government for lapses in security. While former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda said that the federal government were looking to kill Lokayukta as an establishment and that this attack used to be any other blow, union minister DV Sadananda Gowda tweeted that “lawlessness prevails” in Karnataka.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said: “The lokayukta were supplied security, there used to be even a gunman outside. However, a large number of other folks come visiting his workplace and this guy used to be one such visitor. I’ve asked the DG to behavior an intensive probe and action can be initiated if it reveals lapses in security.”
