"Disturbed" over the death of IAS officer D K Ravi in Karnataka, the IAS officers association on Tuesday said it was awaiting inputs to decide on action in this regard.

"We are very much disturbed by the death of the young officer. He was a bright star and a shining star. It is really unfortunate that his life has come to such a tragic end. We are waiting for the inputs.

"At the moment, we don't have all the facts. As and when we get the fact about the case, we will call a meeting of the central committee and then we will decide on it," association's secretary and senior IAS officer Sanjay R Bhoosreddy said.

He said IAS officers have beeen facing threats from land and mining mafia.

"Even in young age, we used to face problem of mining mafia in Uttar Pradesh and other areas. But now they (officers) have started raising their heads and they have gathered the guts to challenge the authority.

"We have seen the cases of IAS and IPS officers being physically harmed in Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.

Now they are bold enough," Bhoosreddy said.

Ravi, a 2009 batch IAS officer, who had taken on the sand mafia in Karnataka was found dead in mysterious circumstances yesterday at his residence in Bengaluru.

Yadav said that the party had bounced back many times in the past even after a section wrote its "obituary".

"The talks will be taken ahead. I am maintaining from the first day that a lot of hope is associated with this party.

Last few days 'manthan' have produced a lot of visha. It's time for amrita," Yadav said.

Over the past few weeks, AAP had been embroiled in internal turmoil with leaders from both the camps making accusations and levelling allegations against each other.

The Kejriwal camp had alleged that Bhushan and Yadav wanted the party to lose the Delhi Assembly elections and were attempting to remove the Delhi Chief Minister from the post of AAP National Convener.

In the party's last National Executive on March 4, Yadav and Bhushan were voted out from the PAC over accusations of working against the party and trying to malign Kejriwal's image.

"There is peace after a three-hour sleep. There is peace now. We will be successful," party leader Kumar Vishwas tweeted this morning.

Sources in the party said the meeting with Yadav was an attempt to "break the ice". They said the discussions continued until 3 AM.

"The meeting was preliminary in nature. Prashantji (Bhushan) had already sent a message yesterday. There was a lot of bad blood, so at least there was a meeting, which itself is a positive sign. We all had not spoken to each other since the March 4 meeting.

"But still there are issues on both the sides which need to be sorted out. However, it would be too early to comment on how things will pan out in coming days," said an AAP leader.
