Newsroom, Jul 30: Congress veteran and Vokkaliga stalwart D K Shivakumar has expressed suspicion over the circumstances that led to the mysterious disappearance of V G Siddhartha, owner of the popular coffee chain Cafe Coffee Day.
Search operation has been intensified today after Siddhartha, who asked his driver to stop his car on Netravati bridge near Tokkottu on the outskirts of Mangaluru and went missing last night. Reports doing rounds that he jumped off the bridge.
Meanwhile a letter attributed to Siddhartha, wherein he says that says he’s ‘sorry to let down all the people’, started going viral on social media.
Reacting to the letter, Shivakumar said that it was "unbelievable" that a "courageous" man like him "would resort to this".
"The letter purportedly written by Shri V G Siddhartha which is circulating is dated July 27th. I received a call from him on the 28th asking if we could meet up. It's unbelievable that a courageous man like him would resort to this, Shivakumar tweeted.
Saying that Siddhartha had been close to Shivakumar for "decades", he added, "However, I find this utterly fishy and urge that a thorough investigation be conducted into this matter."
Meanwhile, Maharashtra Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam has raised question over disappearance of Siddhartha asking why a successful business tycoon was saying he had failed as an entrepreneur. Nirupam was quoting from Siddharatha's letter to his employees.
