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.
