Meti sex CD case: CID quizzes former DySP Anupama Shenoy

Ballari: In an interesting development, former DySP of Kudligi Anupama Shenoy was quizzed by the CID police, who are investigating former excise minister H.Y. Meti's sex CD case, here on Wednesday.

While there is no clarity on the connection between Ms Shenoy and the Meti sex CD case, the former police officer arrived at the Government Guest House for questioning. Ms Shenoy later told the media that she was questioned for about 20 minutes by CID Deputy Superintendent of Police Ravi Shankar mainly based on the media reports.

Ms Shenoy said she was asked whether she knew Ms Vijayalakshmi, who is in the sex tape, and Mr Meti. “I told them that I don't know them personally.”

The ex-DySP was asked whether she was using the sex tape, in collusion with RSS leaders Santosh and Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat, and releasing it through Ballari-based RTI activist Rajashekhar Mulali to get back her previous police job. “I said no to all these questions," she said.

Most of the questions posed to her were based on media reports which she claimed were 'false' and 'concocted'. She reiterated that the Facebook account that has her name is not her own.

It is learnt that the police are trying to find out who filmed the CD and other aspects related to the case. The police have also questioned RTI activist Rajashekhar, who exposed the episode, leading to the resignation of Mr H.Y. Meti.

The incident has witnessed a lot of twists and turns with the victim initially denying the incident and later claiming that she was threatened to do so. Even, Mr Meti's gunman Subhash Mugalkod, who was allegedly instrumental in filming the incident to blackmail the minister, too has gone underground and is yet to be traced.
