With this, the number of persons arrested in connection with the case rise to six. Police had arrested five persons on Saturday.prime

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 top brass giving out details of the incident had maintained the murder was committed with an intention to create communal unrest in the district.

Except Santosh all the five accused arrested on Saturday have criminal cases against them. Abhin Rai was booked during Tipu Jayanti violence in Bantwal last year and a case was booked against Pavan in 2012 for defiling a religious place in Bantwal to create communal tension. 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.

Bengaluru, Feb 8: The BJP on Saturday drew flak on Twitter for taking a swipe at Muslim women who appear to be standing in a line to vote in Delhi's assembly polls. ""Kaagaz Nahi Dikayenge Hum" ! ! ! Keep the documents safe, you will need to show them again during NPR exercise (sic)," the party's Karnataka Twitter handle posted using the hashtag #DelhiPolls2020. 

The video, which appears to have been taken from one of the polling booths in Delhi on Saturday, shows burqa-clad women flashing their voter ID cards. While the threatening tone of the tweet is unmissable, the tweet contradicts the government's statement that no person needs to submit any documents during the house-to-house survey for updating the National Population Register (NPR) and that information provided by individuals would be accepted and recorded. 

The tweet has added to the prevailing confusion regarding the NPR exercise in the country. 

The NPR is a list of "usual residents" of the country. In 2010, the data for NPR was collected along with the house-listing phase of the Census of India 2011. The data was updated in 2015 by conducting a door-to-door survey.

Currently, it has been decided to update the NPR along with the house-listing phase of Census 2021 during April to September 2020 in all the states/union territories except Assam.

Most of the opposition parties see NPR as a prelude to the contentious National Register of Citizens (NRC), which has been opposed by even NDA allies like the JD(U). The NPR questionnaire asked details like the birthplace of parents. In combination with the recently amended citizenship law, protesters fear that the registry might be eventually used for NRC. 

As a result, people, predominantly Muslims, have hit the streets as India witnesses one of the most widespread civilian unrest of recent times.
