Subramanyeshwara Rao, who was deputy inspector general, intelligence, in Bengaluru, will succeed Patil. Patil has cited personal reasons for a request transfer to Bengaluru, while the redeployment of his deputy was a routine transfer, according to police officials in Bengaluru. While Patil is the new DIG and joint commissioner, crime, in Bengaluru, Hanumantharaya has been posted in Davanagere. Once the report is submitted, the police will begin an investigation into the unnatural death of the businessman. The post mortem report will end much of the speculation over the cause of death and the circumstances under which Siddhartha plunged into the river off the bridge.
