Kannada film star Kiccha Sudeep had earlier received a threat in the form of a letter, right after he stated his intention to campaign for BJP in the Karnataka assembly polls due for May 10. Sudeep also filed a police complaint in this regard. Now CCB officials have made an arrest in the case. Director Ramesh Kitty, who was known to be a close aide of Sudeep, has been detained by police.

Kitty said that the Kannada star had defrauded him after receiving a Rs 2 crore investment from him After that, the director wrote Kichcha Sudeep a letter of threat. Police believe there are more parties engaged in the crime, and they are looking into it.
