He was known to take tough stand against sand mining and land grabbing in Kolar district, when he was district collector there. Then in Oct 2014, he was appointed as Additional Commissioner of Commercial Taxes (Enforcement) in Bengaluru, after a transfer from Kolar.

Born on June 10, 1979, Ravi was a native of Doddakoppalu village in Kunigal taluk, Tumkur district of Karnataka.

His sudden death was followed by complete shutdown of shops, commercial establishments, schools and colleges, as a part of his mourning and also to demand fair probe into his death.

After a lot of pressure, the government initially ordered a CID probe, but later due to more mounting of pressure by opposition parties, the CBI took over the investigation.

On micro-blogging site Twitter, people are paying tributes to late DK Ravi, on his first death anniversary today. Here are some tweets:
