Ashraf (33), president SDPI’s Ammunje zonal unit, was hacked to death by a gang of miscreants at Benjanapadavu in Bantwal taluk in broad daylight on June 21. The SDPI has called the murder a handiwork of Sangh Parivar.

According to media reports, the police have arrested Divyaraj, Abhin, Pavan, Santosh and Shivaprasad, all said to be local residents. However, the local police neither rejected the report, nor confirmed it so far.

Inspector-General of Police (Western Range) P. Harishekaran, who is overseeing the investigation of the murder, earlier said that the police are questioning some suspects. “We will shortly have a breakthrough in the case. All those involved in the murder and those who have conspired will be arrested,” he said.

Sources privy to the investigation said that police may formally announce the arrest at a press meet after nabbing all the accused in connection with the case soon.

Bengaluru, Mar 10: With concerns growing by the day, the Karnataka government is readying three more labs to test throat swab samples.

Currently, only two labs in Bengaluru — National Institute of Virology and Virus Research and Diagnostics Laboratory (VRDL) lab attached to Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute — are categorised biosafety level 2+, a requirement for coronavirus tests.

Now, the government is working on upgrading three more labs, one each in the government medical colleges at Hassan, Mysuru and Shivamogga. “The labs will be ready within one week,” the authorities said.

Currently, the labs are testing only throat swab samples of suspected patients and taking 24 hours to give the results. “A patient’s blood sample will be collected only if he or she tests positive for covid-19 infection in the first throat swab sample.

While earlier the state would send all samples of suspected coronavirus cases to NIV, Pune, the two labs were upgraded to biosafety level 2+ in mid-February.
