I apologise if I have issued false statements. I had given a statement against Police Commissioner, Renuka Sukumar in grief. Local MLAs and leaders have all stood with us,” Niranjan Hiremath stated.
“The case is now with the CID. Let them complete the probe. I had stated that the police department had not done a proper investigation. However, the police have done a fair and unbiased probe. I also apologise to the police department. I had issued certain statements in panic mode,” he maintained.
