Addressing a press conference in Mangaluru, Shenoy said, "Pallavi, wife of late Om Prakash, has been falsely booked as an accused by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Home Minister G Parameshwara with an intention to appease minorities. The role of Assembly Speaker U T Khader and another politician must be probed in this regard. Pallavi in a WhatsApp group has mentioned about Om Prakash having PFI links which should be investigated. There should be a probe on Om Prakash's links with the PFI post-retirement. There should be a probe into whether banned outfit PFI members are being recruited into the police department. There should be a probe whether there was pressure to recruit PFI members into the department when Om Prakash was the DGP."
