Activist Alleges Police Involvement in Criminal Activities
Mysuru-based activist Snehamayi Krishna has called for action against police personnel whom he accuses of engaging in criminal acts rather than curbing them. In a statement issued on June 24, 2026, Krishna claimed that certain officers in the Mysuru police force are themselves involved in unlawful activities, betraying their duty to uphold law and order.
Details of the Allegations
Krishna did not specify particular incidents but alleged a pattern of misconduct, including extortion, harassment, and collusion with local criminals. He urged the Karnataka Director General of Police to investigate and take disciplinary action against the accused personnel. The activist emphasized that such behavior erodes public trust in the police force.
Impact on Public Trust
The allegations come amid growing concerns over police accountability in Karnataka. According to Krishna, citizens in Mysuru have reported several instances of police overreach and corruption. He demanded a transparent inquiry and strict punishment for those found guilty. The activist warned that failure to act would embolden further criminal behavior within the force.
Call for Accountability
Snehamayi Krishna has previously raised issues of civic rights and police reforms in Mysuru. He reiterated that the police must be held to the highest standards of integrity. The activist called on senior officials and the state government to ensure that the department cleanses itself of corrupt elements.
