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.

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, May 26: Ministers of the central government or state governments or officers on their official duty, who are travelling across states, will be exempted from requirements of quarantine, the Karnataka government said on Monday.

The state government issued an addendum to Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for inter-state passengers.

"Any person who gets a negative COVID test certificate (from ICMR approved lab) which is not more than two days old from the date of journey will be exempted from the requirement of institutional quarantine," read the addendum.

The state government has laid down new norms for those coming from other states (including those coming by domestic air flights).

Passengers coming from 'high prevalence states' (Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh) would be required to undergo a seven-day "institutional quarantine", which will be followed by home quarantine.

The new norms also said that home quarantine of 14 days would be necessary for the passengers coming from other states.
