After being accused by the police of aiding the suicide of a senior police officer, KJ George has quit the Congress government in Karnataka. Mr George, 65, had resisted demands for his resignation, claiming that there was no direct evidence of his role in the death of MK Ganapathi, who was found hanging in uniform last week after accusing the politician, in a television interview, of harassing him. The minister, who handles Urban Development for the capital of Bengaluru, had been supported by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
