8 people have been arrested in the murder case of Suhas Shetty, the Bajrang Dal leader in Karnataka and the main accused in the 2022 Fazil murder case. These include Abdul Safwan, Niaz, Mohammad Muzammil, Khalandar Shafi, Adil Mehruf, Nagraj, Ranjit and Rizwan. The BJP has demanded to hand over the investigation of the case to the NIA.
Suhas Shetty was murdered on 1 May in Mangaluru. Since then, there has been a chance of tension in the area. For this reason, curfew has been imposed in the city till 6 May.
On the other hand, the Karnataka government has decided to create an ‘anti-commercial task force’ to curb rising communal incidents. Home Minister Dr. G. Parmeshwar said that it will especially work in South Kannada and Udupi districts. This force will take strict action against those making inflammatory statements.
BJP bid- law and order failure in Karnataka
BJP MLA Bharat Shetty said on the murder of Suhas Shetty- Law and order in Karnataka has completely failed. The government has promoted anti -social and jihadi forces. For this reason, some anti -social elements are executing such an incident. The police is engaged in transfers and suspensions instead of handling law and order.
He further said that the government is more interested in putting BJP workers in jail. Suhas being killed is a huge loss for his family and the whole Hindu society.
