Madekeri, Aug 16: The murder of a 30-year-old youth at Kushalnagar on the Mysuru-Kodagu border has sparked communal tension in the region.
Praveen Poojary, 30, son of Chandappa Poojary, was killed by unknown persons on Sunday midnight near Guddehosuru village and the body was found in his autorickshaw.
This happened hours after the Sankalpa Yatra organized by a Hindutva organization to create awareness about Hindu nationalism.
Kodagu police clamped prohibitory orders under section 144 of the CrPC in Kushalnagar and surrounding places.
Hindutva group workers on Monday gathered at the mortuary in Kushalnagar and auto drivers joined them. They demanded the arrest of the killers before the postmortem was conducted.
They didn't allow the medical officer to enter the mortuary and demanded the presence of in-charge minister Seetharam who attended the Independence Day celebrations at Madikeri.
To pacify the agitators, deputy commissioner Richard Vincent and MLC Sunil Subramani communicated the minister's strong message that the killers would be arrested within 24 hours and the victim's family would be compensated.
The district witnessed communal tension for more than a month in the aftermath of violence at Madikeri during the Tipu Sultan birth anniversary last November.

The chaddis will not hesitate to do any mischief... They will kill themselves and put the blame on others....as it happened in Bhatkal, where it was found that a Hindu auto driver placed a meat bag in the Nagabana to create trouble..... If they are saints, why they are carrying torch flames in their hands.....that speaks a lot of their intentions.......What do you say Naren and Riyadh Bopanna ??????/
dear hindhu brothers,
police will investigate and find the killer soon,
same will happen in mangalore also one hindhu bro murdered and sobha nalin are very active in protest against other religion

drama maker..
Now to shut this goons mouth police will start arresting innocent Muslim youths as usual.. Police should investigate it toughly and find out the real culprit.. May be someone inside his family did this as the same was happened before..
Police have to probe the case of this murder.
Noticed a new gimmick by Hindutva group that for any yatras of their these days they carry \Fire Torches\". What message they want to give?????"
