Mangaluru, Aug 15: Nearly six weeks after the cold-blooded murder of RSS worker Sharath Madiwala that had triggered communal clashes in coastal district, the police have managed to arrest two accused including a small-time leader of Popular Front of India.

Addressing a press meet here on Tuesday, IGP (western range) Harisheshkaran announced the names of the accused as Abdul Shafi (36), a resident of Sajipamunnur, and Khaleelulla (30) from Chamarajanagar.

Abdul Shafi was picked up in Bantwal while Khaleelulla, who is the Chamarajanagar district unit president of the PFI, was picked up from his home district. The police have secured the custody of the accused after producing before a local court.

Rubbishing the rumours of arrest of third accused, IGP said that only two persons were arrested so far and all the other absconding accused will be caught soon.

He said that the police had interrogated around 30 people in marathon investigation. The probe teams had also visited Maharashtra, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Bengaluru, Shivamogga, Karwar, Hassan, Mandya and other places.

Harishekaran said the duo was picked up from their home towns and booked for conspiracy and harbouring the other accused. "They had provided logistics help to the assailants," he said adding that they have been produced before the court and sent to judicial custody.

More than 30 police personnel, which included senior police officials, were involved in the probe. "This was a complicated crime and that's why it took several days to make the arrests," added Harishekaran.

The development comes two days after DG-IGP R.K. Dutta told reporters in Bengaluru that police had achieved breakthrough in the case.

Dakshina Kannada Superintendent of Police Sudheer Kumar Reddy C.H. earlier said the type of investigation adopted in the murder of Sharath Madiwala was one used in 1990s when mobile phones were not in use. The perpetrators of the murder have not been using mobile phones.

Mr. Reddy also that the recent transfer of policemen following the disturbance in Bantwal had not impacted the investigation.

Madiwala was attacked by a gang on July 4 on B.C. Road. He breathed his last at a hospital in Mangaluru on July 7. The murder had triggered communal tension in the region.

More details are awaited

Hmm... Cops caught PFI members involved in murder of a legalized terrorist organization member. Good Job. But never trust authorities. A more detailed investigation required.

Mumbai, Jun 14: Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput committed suicide on Sunday, leaving all his fans and the industry in shock. While the reason behind him taking up the extreme step is still not clear, a look into Sushant’s social media feed suggests that things were not well for him for quite some time.

Sushant had been inactive on Twitter since months. His last tweet was on December 27, 2019. Since then, he did not even reply to any one on Twitter. Same is the case with his Facebook account as the last post on his timeline was on the same date. Interestingly, Sushant's Twitter cover picture is the popular painting - 'Starry Night', by Van Gogh, who had also reportedly committed suicide in 1890.

On Instagram, the young actor had last posted on June 3. It was a collage picture of him and his mother along with a cryptic caption that read, “Blurred past evaporating from teardrops Unending dreams carving an arc of smile And a fleeting life, negotiating between the two...#माँ”.

Was Sushant’s inactivity on Twitter, Facebook and his last cryptic post on Instagram a signal that the actor was having a tough time? Well, may be it will remain a mystery forever.
