"I had a word with the home minister over the phone since he was not in Bengaluru. Once he is back, I will discuss it and request him to conduct a probe by an independent agency within the home department," he stated.

He held an emergency press conference as BJP is demanding his resignation and arrest, alleging that his supporter Raju Kapanoor had harassed Panchal, driving him to suicide.
