Bangalore, October 24: An advisor of a private firm was “misusing” the name of Union Home Minister P Chidambaram and media to “pressurise” Bangalore police to file chargesheet in the USD nine million cheating case against a city-based export company, Police Commissioner Shankar Bidari said today.
The complainant Dinesh Menon, advisor to M/S Alsa Petroleum and Shipping, “is misusing the name of Union Home Minister and media to bring pressure on the city police to file chargesheet in the case,” he told reporters here.
He said the city police would not be “overawed by such pressure tactics” and would do the investigation in “a fair and impartial manner.”
Menon had filed a complaint with the Sadashivnagar police station in June this year, accusing the city-based firm Twenty First Century Wire Rods Ltd of exporting inferior iron ore to Pakistan Steel Mills Ltd, he said.
