Bengaluru, March 23 (IANS) The Karnataka government on Monday ordered a CBI inquiry into the death of IAS officer D.K. Ravi here a week ago, which triggered public outrage after police termed it prime facie a case of suicide.

"We are handing over the probe into Ravi's death to the CBI not because of the pressure from the opposition (parties) but keeping in view the feelings of his family," Chief Minister Siddaramaiah told lawmakers in the legislative assembly here.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will take over Ravi's case from the state Criminal Investigation Department (CID), which was entrusted to probe it, though preliminary investigation by a special police team found it to be a suicide case.

Ravi, 36, was found dead in his apartment in the city's upscale southeast suburb by his wife Kusuma and her father after he did not attend to her calls since noon.
