Bengaluru, Nov 3: In an unexpected development, the police probing into the murder case of RSS activist Rudresh, have arrested Hashim Sharif, the Bengaluru district unit chief of Popular Front of India.
Commercial Street police picked up Mr Sharif on Wednesday night and formally arrested him in connection with the murder case on Thursday morning, sources said.
According to police sources, Mr Sharif was in touch with Irfan Pasha, who was earlier arrested in connection with the case.
During interrogation, some suspects arrested earlier in the case allegedly told the police that they acted based on instructions from Sheriff. However police said that the allegation can be confirmed only after interrogating Mr Sherif.
Political conspiracy'
Meanwhile, the PFI has condemned the arrest of Mr Sharif and called it a political conspiracy.
Addressing a press conference in Bengaluru, Yasir Hasan, General secretary of PFI-Karnataka rubbished all allegations against Mr Sharif and denied any connection with the murder.
Mr Hasan, claimed that the allegations were politically motivated. “PFI strongly condemns the irrelevant arrest of our district President. This is politically motivated,” he said.
Rudresh was hacked to death by two bike-borne men on October 16 near Shivajinagar. The police arrested Mohammed Majidullah alias Mujib(44) from RT Nagar, Mohd Sadiq(35) from JC Nagar, Vasim Ahmed (36) from Austin Town and Irfan Pasha (30) Govindapura on October 27.
The RSS has announced that it would seek a ban on organizations that have played a role in the murder.

No never they cannot play any thing in front of peace religion.

Dear Bopanna,
Be like ek bap ka aulad. Earning in Muslim country and talking in non ethical way this is called rss policy. Come back to India here also you can easily get job. If not tell us we will feed u but ur chaddi party never help u. Just remember n try u to move towards SachaI truth.
Definitely you will lead a peaceful life. If still u follow rss then later u will realize.
