Driver commits suicide, says mining baron Janardhana Reddy converted Rs 100 cr black money

The suicide note claims that KAS office asked Reddy to help him get a ticket to contest the 2018 Karnataka elections

Janardhana Reddy is in trouble again, with his name being mentioned in a suicide note left by Ramesh Gowda, driver of a Karnataka Administrative Service (KAS) officer. Gowda accused Reddy of converting Rs 100 crore black money into white, with the help of the officer.

Gowda further alleged that Reddy paid a 20 per cent commission to the KAS office for the job, news agency ANI tweeted.

The suicide note claims that apart from asking for the 20 per cent commision, the KAS office also asked Reddy to help him get a ticket to contest the 2018 Karnataka elections, reports CNN-News 18.

The letter contains other allegations against Ramesh's employer Bhima Naik. It says Naik also met B Sriramulu, BJP MP from Bellary and a close associate of Janardhan Reddy.

Gowda, who committed suicide by consuming poison, said in his note that he was constantly receiving death threats as he had information on how Reddy had converted the black money.
