Bengaluru, May 20 (IANS): The Bommai government on Friday ordered an investigation against senior IAS officer Rohini Sindhuri on the allegations levelled against her by the JD(S) leader S.R. Mahesh during her tenure as the District Commissioner of Mysuru.

James Tarakan, Under Secretary of the Department of Personnel and Administration Reforms (DPAR) issued the orders. Bengaluru Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) President and senior IPS officer N. Jayaram has been appointed as the investigation officer.

It has been directed to submit the report within 30 days. The move is said to be a setback for Rohini Sindhuri known for her upright attitude and her don't care attitude to politicians. She is presently working as the Commissioner of Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowment Department.

Rohini Sindhuri has confronted state political heavyweight H.D. Revanna, the son of former PM H.D. Deve Gowda and elder brother of former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy during her tenure as the Hassan District Commissioner.

After taking charge as the Deputy Commissioner of Mysuru, she took a slew of measures which made her popular in the district. But, soon, she antagonised powerful politicians from the district.

S.R. Mahesh, JD(S) MLA and close confidante of Kumaraswamy made a series of allegations against Rohini Sindhuri in connection with the purchase of cloth bags for students, renovating her official residence, which is a heritage building, building a swimming pool, gym and she is also charged with providing false statistics of Covid related deaths.

Rohini Sindhuri, allegedly is backed by a top leader of the BJP in New Delhi according to sources. However, the ruling BJP has come under tremendous pressure to transfer her from the post of DC of Mysuru district. Ruling BJP managed to attain power in Mysuru City Corporation for the first time after Independence with the help of JD(S).

S.R. Mahesh had raked up the issue regarding the purchase of sub-standard bags and demanded investigation against Rohini Sindhuri in the state Assembly for making a unilateral decision to purchase bags for the price of Rs 52 alleging that the same bags are available in market for Rs 10 to 13.

    Every person is innocent until proven guilty. We want this case to be transferred to a neutral state ruled by neutral political party like AAP.

    Well timed. On expected lines. With the Rajya Sabha and MLC elections in the offing, the nexus between the ruling party in Karnataka and JDS has come to the fore. Quid pro quo - JDS takes its pound of flesh without shedding a drop of blood.

    So JDS good for nothings vs a BJP top leadership backed officer. The result is obvious. JDS is nowhere in the current scenario , with AAP replacing it .

    It's nothing but vendetta by politicians who always get a cut in any tenders. First she was falsely accused of nonsupply of oxygen cylinders and when it fell through this new allegations. We know how much a proper bag costs and certainly not a gunny bag stitched out of once used to pack pulses and groceries the rate quoted by politicians is available in the market. JDS is no saints but opportunists in the garb of servants of people. They didn't get their cut in this as well as many other deals because of her following proper methods and easy way is accuse and get her transferred.

    S R Mahesh has already made so many baseless statements - one more makes no difference. such 'netas' (the list of very very long) just cannot tolerate a competent administrator stand up to them. and the 'able' CM of the state dances to the tunes of such characters.
