Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to take part in the rally. Following a heated argument, the assailants stabbed Santhosh in the thigh and he died at a hospital later.

While the BJP claims that the murder was politically motivated, the JC Nagar Police officers investigating the case say otherwise. Inspector Girish Naik of JC Nagar Police Station said that the murder happened after a drunken brawl between Santhosh and his friends.

According to Girish, there are four accused in the case - Wasim, Phillip, Umar and Irfan. And police managed to arrest Wasim and Phillip a few hours after the incident occurred.

“During interrogation, we received information that the four men were not happy about Santhosh asking them to buy him drinks and smokes. A heated argument began and when things escalated, Santhosh got stabbed. There is no political or communal reasons for Santhos's death. Santhosh and the four men were neighbours and grew up together," Inspector Girish said.

If BJP claims that it's a political murder, then no need of probe. Because they used to kill their own workers and blame others

Political killings are increasing. People should realise that there is no use for killing and dying for political party.

This is a political killing.  Current Karnataka Govt is anti Hindu and killing very patriatic + peace loving RSS activists.  Mr. Nalin and Shobakaa should call for karnataka bandh and in case action taken they should go for burning whole state.   Govt should award 50 lakhs rupees to deceased family and declare him as National Hero and Martyre.  He gave his life for the nation and should be rewarded.  There is a wrong allegation that he was drunken.  He never drink.

New Delhi, Mar 3: Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kapil Mishra, who instigated violence in northeast Delhi by provoking mobs, has now been provided with 24x7 security. After he claimed threat to his life, he has been provided with “Y” category security — which entitles him to six security personnel round-the-clock to guard him in and outside the city.

He had fought the 2020 Delhi Assembly elections by giving inflammatory remarks around the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act in Shaheen Bagh, and lost to Aam Aadmi Party candidate. But he continued to issue provocative remarks.

While there is clear evidence of his scandalous statements just a day before the violence was unleashed on Muslims in Delhi last week where around 50 people were killed, no action has been taken against him so far. Instead, he is being treated as a hero in his party.

As per sources, Mishra complained that he got life threats over the past week in wake of the violence and based on his request, the Delhi Police has provided the security cover.

Mishra had taken to social media platform Twitter and alleged that he was receiving threats via WhatsApp, Twitter and Facebook, from Indian and foreign accounts.

“I am constantly being threatened with murder on the phone, on WhatsApp, on email. Hundreds of threats are being given continuously from the country and abroad. I don’t fear this hate campaign against me,” he had said on Twitter on March 1.

Mishra had on February 23 made an incendiary speech, following which North-East Delhi witnessed anti-Muslim violence.

The Supreme Court of India on Monday said it will on Wednesday (March 4) hear a plea that sought immediate FIRs against Kapil Mishra, Union Minister of State for Finance Anurag Thakur and other leaders for their recent hate speech, which allegedly triggered the violence in Delhi. The plea was filed by Delhi violence survivors.

The apex court bench, comprising Chief Justice SA Bobde, listed the matter for hearing after senior advocate Colin Gonsalves, who is appearing on behalf of the survivors told the SC that the Delhi High Court had last week adjourned the matter for six weeks even as “people are dying every day”.
