Days after Kannada film actor Kichcha Sudeep filed a complaint about receiving a
threat letter through the post, the Bengaluru city police commissioner Pratap
Reddy has directed the Central Crime Branch (CCB) to investigate the case.
According to police sources, the probe is underway.

The Puttenahalli police registered a case on March 29 after his manager,
Manjunath alias Jack Manju, filed a complaint with them. According to the
complaint, Sudeep had received the threat letter on March 10 at his residence.
“In the letter, the miscreant has claimed to expose a few private videos of
Sudeep,” said the complaint.

The police have registered the case under sections 120 (b) (criminal
conspiracy), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 504 (Intentional insult with intent
to provoke breach of the peace) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).



On Wednesday, while addressing a press conference, Sudeep said he did receive a
threat letter and that he knows the person who had sent it to him. “I also know
it was by someone from the film industry and will give them a fitting reply. The
person knows me and my residential address. I will respond to the threat
letter,” he added.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) P Krishnakanth said the letter had come
from an anonymous person and that the language used in it doesn’t seem proper,
he added. “There was no sender’s address or name. It was written in Kannada and
came through a post. We are checking from where it was posted,” another police
officer added.

During Wednesday’s press conference amid speculations whether the actor would
contest or campaign for the BJP in the May 10 Karnataka Assembly elections,
Sudeep said he would only campaign for Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai and BJP
candidates identified by him.
