Divyaraj along with another rowdy sheeter Bharat Kumdelu had hatched the murder plot and participated in the brutal killing, SP C H Sudheer Kumar Reddy said.

Stating that efforts are on to nab Bharat, with whom RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat shared a dias, the SP said that Divyaraj will be interrogated with the other accused to ascertain their exact roles in the crime. "We are almost through with the interrogation of the other five accused, and will no longer need their custody for time being," he noted.

The jurisdictional court incidentally had remanded the five accused - Pavan Kumar, 24 of Pudu village, Bantwal; Santosh, 23 of Thumbe village; Shivaprasad, 24 of Bollari house, Thumbe; Ranjith, 28, resident of Pudu village and Abhin Rai, 23 of Thenkabellur village - to three days of police custody on Saturday.

Police said the murder plan was hatched a month ago and it was discussed at various places.

Police custody is the safest place for them to get high protection knowing the fact that if they are out they will be beheaded soon. Killing innocents have become a trend for these goons.

If these criminals don't get what they deserve, then the public will teach how to be handled such cases.

Unless equally punish no end.
