Daijiworld Media Network – Bengaluru (RJP)
Bengaluru, Oct 28: Whistleblower and upright KAS officer K Mathai, who has accused three IAS officers of harassment, said that he is being provoked to commit suicide.
Mathai made this revelation through a press statement on Friday, October 27.
"I had sought permission of the chief secretary to prosecute three IAS officers, two under secretaries and one section officer of the department of personnel and administrative reforms (DPAR). But the letter has been forwarded to the very officer against whom I have complained,” his statement says.
“DPAR officials are provoking me to commit suicide by creating documents to punish me. Now, the only way left for justice is suicide," Mathai has stated in the statement.
Appointment with CM
Mathai, who unearthed the illegal hoardings scam in the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to the tune of several crores and irregularities in the allotment of sites in the Mandya Urban Development Authority, said his application requesting an appointment with the chief minister has been pending for the last one year.
"The IAS mafia is not granting me the appointment," said Mathai.
Mathai is currently the Sakala Mission administrative officer.
Daijiworld had reported some months back how Mathai commuted to the office from his residence by bicycle as he was not allotted official car.
