D. Kempanna, president of the Karnataka State Contractors’ Association, who was arrested and released on bail on Saturday in connection with a criminal defamation case filed by Minister Munirathna over allegations of corruption, on Sunday alleged that his arrest was “a misuse of power by the Minister and the State government”. Mr. Kempanna also contended that the civil defamation and criminal defamation case filed by Mr. Munirathna claimed they had not been able to provide any evidence to back their allegations. “We have written to the Chief Minister, met him personally and even through public forums demanded that a judicial probe be instituted into the 40% commission allegations we have made. If there is a judicial probe instituted even today, we have the evidence to back our claims and will submit them for inquiry,” he said.
