Mangalore, January 2: Terming the brutal murder of Sadashiva Gowda, a 'desperate act' of naxalites, Inspector-General of Police (Western Range) Pratap Reddy clarified that he was not a police informer.

Gowda, a resident of Kabbinale village, and basket weaver by profession, was found murdered near Hebri, in Udupi district, in the forests of the Western Ghats on December 28.

“The police strongly believe that the murder of the villager was a desperate act by the naxalites, who were finding it difficult to force their ideology on local people”, Mr Reddy said in an informal chat with media persons.

Mr Reddy said that the police department is looking at this case purely from the criminal side, where the right of an individual has been violated.

He also said the naxalite issue should be dealt from a holistic perspective. “The scope of police in the Western Range in maintaining law and order and detecting crimes had widened in view of development projects verses environmental issues and development projects verses people. Police would have to identify the 'possible friction points' by various angles for maintaining law and order”, he said.
