A total 21 people have been taken into police custody by Kasargod police, in connection with the murder that took place in Karnataka’s Sullya. Those in custody are said to have been involved in political conflicts and criminal cases in the past. The suspects have been handed over to the Karnataka Police and the Kasaragod district police chief has been instructed to form a special investigation team and proceed with a vigorous investigation into the matter. State Intelligence has also called for strengthening surveillance. The police HQ has directed Kasaragod district police chief Vaibhav Saxena to take any necessary action in connection with the investigation. A list of those with a history of involvement in political conflicts in the district have also been compiled. The special branch has intensified its investigation focusing on the vehicles seen under mysterious circumstances. Sources also suggest that there could be a SDPI hit squad from Kerala that could have been behind the BJP worker’s murder. The Karnataka Home Minister said, “The investigation is going on and many people have been arrested. We have doubts on PFI and SDPI.” Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai will travel to Mangalore later in the day.
