Twenty out of the 50 cartridges which went missing from T. Narsipur police station were fished out of the waters from Kapila river near here on Tuesday. Based on information extracted from Krishne Gowda, the writer of the police station, who had been arrested after the live cartridges went missing, a team of expert divers arranged by the police searched for them in the river near Nanjangud. Days after a case was registered and an investigation had begun, Krishne Gowda, who had been suspended from service, reportedly faked a suicide drama. During interrogation, Krishne Gowda is believed to have revealed that he threw 20 cartridges in the river. “He may have thrown them in the river soon after the cartridges were found missing and a case was registered”, a police official said.
