The death of Dalit sub-inspector Parashuram has sparked significant controversy, with allegations from his wife, Shwetha, that Congress MLA Channareddy Tannur and his son demanded ₹30 lakh for his continued posting in Yadgir. The police registered a case against the MLA and his son on charges of abetment to suicide and joint criminal liability following public protests. Shwetha has accused the police department of supporting the MLA over her husband. The incident has led to calls from BJP MLA D. Vedavyas Kamath for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe, citing the Karnataka police's pressure and the alleged law and order issues under the current Congress government. Home Minister G Parameshwara has ordered a thorough investigation but denied that Parashuram's death was a suicide, citing the absence of a death note. The situation has intensified with public demonstrations and demands for justice from Dalit organizations.
