2024 was one of the busiest years for law enforcing agencies with the Rameshwaram Cafe blast in Whitefield, sensational Renukaswamy murder allegedly involving actor Darshan and alleged sexual exploitation and kidnapping by former minister and JDS MLA HD Revanna and his two sons Prajwal and Suraj.
More high and mighty followed with criminal cases registered against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Union Ministers Niramala Sitharaman and HD Kumaraswamy, former chief minister BS Yeddyurappa, former minister Munirathna and director and professors of the premier IIM-Bangalore.
The year also witnessed some of the worst scams where crores of rupees were reportedly misused. B Nagendra, who was a minister for Scheduled Tribes Welfare, had to resign after his name cropped up in the alleged misappropriation of funds in Valmiki ST Welfare Corporation.
Criminal cases were registered against Siddaramaiah's wife Parvati and her brother in the MUDA case. Yediyurappa landed in trouble after a POCSO case was registered against him by the Sadashivanagar police.
Former minister in the BJP government Munirathna was arrested in an alleged rape case.
