Mangaluru, Aug 5: Sangh Parivar activists have threatened to launch a hunger strike in the city and taluk headquarters in Dakshina Kannada district on August 8 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to press the government to arrest those behind the murder of RSS activist Sharath Madiwala in B.C. Road a month ago.

Activists of the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Vishwa Hindu Parishat, the Bajrang Dal, the Hindu Jagarana Vedike and other allied organisations will participate in it, according to K. Monappa Bhandary, former MLC. Talking to presspersons here on Saturday, Mr. Bhandary said despite setting up a special investigation team the district police have so far not arrested any person. 

While police arrested persons involved in the murder of Karopady Gram Panchayat Vice-President Zalil Karopady (in April) and Mohammed Ashraf or Ashraf Kalai (on June 26) quickly, Mr. Bhandary said that they were taking a long time to trace the accused in this case.

“Our police are competent and professional. There seems to be some pressure that’s preventing them from acting against the accused persons,” he alleged.

Vishwa Hindu Parishat Dakshina Kannada unit president Jagadish Shenva alleged that the frequent transfer of police officials in the district showed the lack of seriousness of the State government into the investigation of the murder.
