Ex-DGP claims K'taka CM ordered VVIP treatment for Sasikala
Former DGP (Prisons) HN Sathyanarayana Rao has claimed he provided "VVIP treatment" to jailed AIADMK leader Sasikala based on Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah's order. Denying the allegations, Siddaramaiah said Rao was making the claims as the government had ordered a probe into alleged irregularities at the Prison Department. Sasikala is lodged at a Bengaluru jail over a disproportionate assets case.
