A senior police officer who served in the Bengaluru commissionerate until last week is in the news for the wrong reasons. H D Anand Kumar, who was Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime-2) in the city, faces an enquiry for trying to help IAS officer Gangaram Baderiya, who is an accused in the illegal mining case, get bail.

The state police chief forwarded the letter to Bengaluru Police Commissioner Praveen Sood, ...
