Staff Reporter

BANGALORE: The Karnataka High Court on Monday adjourned to next week a petition by a woman of Kodihalli village in Kanakapura taluk seeking a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) investigation into the murder of her husband in which she has alleged that the former Minister and Congress leader, D.K. Shivakumar, and his brother D.K. Suresh, are involved.

The petitioner, Roopli Bai, who filed the petition in 2004, said her husband, Nagaraja Nayak, was murdered on September 27, 2003.

She alleged that her husband, before his death, had claimed that Mr. Shivakumar and Mr. Suresh were trying to get him killed.

She said that after her husband's murder she had gone to the Kodihalli police to register a complaint.

She said she was "forced" by the police to sign the complaint in which the names of persons she had accused of murder did not figure.

Justice Mohan Shantangouder adjourned the petition to next week and directed the Government advocate to ensure that the case diary was produced before the court on the next date of hearing.
