Mangaluru, May 27: Police have averted a murder and possible communal riot by arresting four miscreants including a Bajrang Dal leader, who were part of an anti-social conspiracy in Moodbidri town on the outskirts of the city.sumith

The arrest of Sumit Raj, a prominent leader of the Moodbidri unit of Bajrang Dal, was confirmed by the police.

A resident of Daregudde, Sumit Raj had allegedly involved in the violence following the murder of Bajrang Dal leader-cum-flower vendor Prashant Poojary in Moodbidri last year. He is also known for immoral policing in the area.

He was nabbed on Wednesday night based on the information provided by three miscreants who were caught by police along with murder weapons in a Maruti Omni.

Nataraj and Raviraj from Kunjathbail and Subhash Bajrangi from Kavoor, all three aged between 25 and 35 years were arrested by a team of CCB police led by inspector Valentine D'Souza at Swaraj Maidan in Moodbidri on Wednesday. All of them were Hindutva activists, sources said.

The police also seized their Omni and lethal weapons such as matches and dagger from the miscreants.

While the trio was subjected to the rigorous interrogation it came to light that they had hatched a murder plot in Moodbidri to create a communal riot.

The trio also reportedly told the involvement of Sumit Raj in the conspiracy. This led the cops to nab him. He was produced before a court which remanded him to judicial custody. The other three are in police custody.

According to police the mastermind of the murder conspiracy was Bombay Kiran Shetty, native of Padumarpadu. Police have launched a manhunt for Sujith Shetty, a resident of Kallabettu who is also said to be part of the conspiracy.

Police never avert the murder of Hindus, be it common man or leaders. Prashant poojary was murdered in broad daylight by the anti national islamist forces. Where the hell were these police then? Now they arrested an innocent Bajrang Dal leader and these rubbish media make laud noise and level false allegations against him.

Police should have made these arrests soon after they unleashed violence after the murder of an eve teaser by some miscreants. Congress govt should wake up at least now and arrest goons of both Hindu and Muslim communities especially in Dakshina Kannada and leave them handicapped. That's the only way to restore peace in the region.

New Delhi: BJP leader Yogish Gowda, who was a member of the Dharwad Zilla Panchayath in Karnataka, was killed because of "political reasons", the CBI has alleged in its charge sheet filed against eight accused before a Dharwad court, officials said on Thursday.

Mr Gowda was killed on June 15, 2016 in front of a gym in Dharwad.

The charge sheet was filed before the Judicial Magistrate First Class Court in Dharwad against Santosh Savadatti, Dinesh M, Sunil KS, Harshith, Aswath S, Nazeer Ahamad, Shanawaz and Nutan K. All but one are in judicial custody.

"The accused allegedly came to Dharwad on two occasions in June 2016 and with the support of the other accused, allegedly planned the murder of Yogish Gowda. These accused fled after the crime," CBI spokesperson RK Gaur said.

The agency has alleged that the killing had "political reasons" behind it and was a result of political rivalry, the officials said.

The agency had taken over the case on September 24, 2019, nearly three years after the murder, on the request of the BJP government in Karnataka and a referral from the centre.

The case was earlier probed by the Karnataka Police which had charged six people for allegedly planning and executing the killing.

The CBI has arrested eight accused in the case of which seven are in judicial custody, they said.

"Further investigation into the role of the other accused and larger conspiracy in this case is continuing on a day-to-day basis," Mr Gaur said.
