Mangaluru, Jun 24: Several media reports claimed that at least five of the accused in connection with the murder case of SDPI activist Ashraf Kalai were arrested yesterday by the police.
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.
