The deceased has been identified as Harish, who Anekal unit vice-president of BJP's SC/ST Yuva Morcha. According to police, the incident took place around 9 pm when Harish, 40, was returning home from a bar and restaurant after meeting his friends.

The killers intercepted his motorcycle, threw chilli powder into his eyes and hacked him to death, before fleeing the spot.

Police suspect personal rivalry to be the reason behind Harish's murder. After preliminary investigations, police said that recently Harish's relative Raju and his brothers were fishing in a tank in Anekal, when Harish argued with them saying they are fishing in the pond illegally.

"A fight had broken out between Raju and Harish and finally with the intervention of locals the situation was defused. But later, Harish went to Raju's house and beat up him and his parents, after which he went out to the restaurant to party with his friends on Wednesday," the police said.

Police suspect Raju was enraged after the incident and that he and his relatives might have killed Harish to avenge the humiliation. The Surya City police booked a case and are on the lookout for Raju and the others.

Harish was elected to the post of vice-president of the morcha a week ago. Following the murder, some of his family members staged a protest alleging that it was politically motivated.

Reacting to the murder, BJP general secretary Shobha Karandlaje sought an NIA probe into the murders of BJP workers in the State. She was speaking to reporters in Kalaburagi.

The old station building at Arasalu has been converted into museum.
BJP MP from Shivamogga BY Raghavendra said that the old station building at Arasalu has been renovated keeping with 'Malgudi' theme in mind.

"It is a tribute to the makers of the popular television serial 'Malgudi Days' as the station features predominantly in the episodes which broadcast on Doordarshan in the 1980s," he said.

The museum has been designed by a famous artist John Devraj, who was the part of the serial Malgudi Days. The Mysore Divisional Railway funded the museum.

"The approach road and station area wear a new transformed look. The innovative idea of having a tea-shop in a narrow gauge coach at Arasalu station adds charm to the green surroundings," the MP said.

The museum is about 30 km from Shivamogga city. It has steam engines and bogies besides collections of photographs hanging on the wall taken during the time of shooting for Malgudi Days.
