NEW DELHI. Almost a year after Anurag Tewari , a young IAS officer from Karnataka cadre, was found dead under mysterious circumstances, his father on Wednesday accused Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah of being an accomplice in the "murder".

The fresh allegation surfaced after the CBI team probing the case, went to Tewari’s residence in Bahraich ( Uttar Pradesh ) to question the family.

As per sources, after the CBI officials left, Anurag’s father, BN Tewari alleged that Siddaramaiah was involved in murder of his son.

Earlier the officer’s family had claimed that there was tremendous pressure on their son to sign files that his ethics didn’t allow him to.

Dissatisfied with the way CBI was handling the case, Tewari said, “To shield the real culprits, CBI is unnecessarily harassing us. It is quite evident that Siddaramaiah played a role in planned murder of my son as immediately after his death, some of his personal belongings were taken away from his residence in Karnataka.”

36-year-old Anurag was found dead nine months back on May 17 outside the state guest house in Lucknow.

BJP had then claimed that Anurag was about to expose scams worth thousands of crores of rupees of Congress-led government in Karnataka and that is why he was eliminated.

“My son was very honest. Corrupt officers did not like him. They must have somehow got him murdered,” Anurag’s father had said back then. Anurag’s mother Sushila had claimed that her son was killed by Akram, Irfan and PN Singh.
