CCB forms special team to nab former Bengaluru mayor over his involvement in DJ Halli case

The Central Crime Branch issues notice against Bengaluru's former Mayor Sampath Raj in the DJ Halli riots case.

Earlier Sampath ran away from Baptist Hospital where he was being treated for COVID-19. As of now the CCB officials have pasted the notice in front of his house and ordered him to depose before them soon.

"Earlier, when we wanted to question him, he got himself admitted to a hospital on pretext of being Covid-19 positive and finally escaped from there. It will help build a case against him," the police said,

A team is been formed to nab the former Bengaluru mayor.

"We have formed special teams to search for Raj," the ACP added
