In Karnataka, an FIR is registered against former Karnataka Lokyukta Justice N Santosh Hegde and Criminal Investigation Department Chief R K Dutta by police on Thursday. The FIR was filed based on a complaint by IPS officer Hemant Nimbalkar that false allegations were made against him by Justice Hegde and Datta during their tenure in Lokayuktha office earlier, thereby causing acute mental agony.

He has charged that both Justice Hegde and Dutta had levelling false charges against him on possessing assets worth 250 crore rupees after Lokayukta officials conducted raids at his office and residence in 2009. Nimbalkar who is a Deputy Inspector General (Internal Security) now was exonerated by the Lokayuktha court, after the police filed a B report for want of sufficient evidence.
