In an exclusive interview to this newspaper, Pavana, the widow of DySP Ganapathi, whose suicide rocked the Karnataka government, said that she was deeply hurt by the reports that family discord was the reason for her husband’s suicide and threatened that she would also take her life if the government and the CID police continue to malign her family.
“The reports are deeply painful and if they (CID and the government) don’t stop this torture, I will have to follow the same step which my husband took. The affidavit read out by the home minister in the Legislative Assembly on Monday is also false and I have not made any such statement before any magistrate nor the CID officials,” she said.
Further, she said that there were differences in the family and expressed displeasure over projecting it as the reason for her husband’s suicide. “We had no issues between us and everyone knows that every family has its own problems. But that does not mean it should be alleged that it was the only reason for the suicide. Our marriage was not over and we were not estranged and we lived together. I had to live in Mangaluru with my two sons as he was being transferred frequently and did not wanted it to affect our children’s education.”
Also, she said that her demands to the government were justice to her husband. “And, I have two sons and they should complete the education, and government should see how can it help us. Also, it should see to it that nothing like this happens to any other officers.”
