Mangaluru, Jan 6: The miscreants arrested in connection with the coldblooded murder of Deepak Rao have reportedly received a huge amount of money recently.

The police are not sure whether the money was paid as supari to kill a Hindu youth to create tension in the region ahead of impending Karnataka Assembly polls.

According to sources, prime accused Pinki Nawaz received a huge amount of money, which was later shared among the four accused. The amount was transferred through a bank account.

The four suspects - Pinki Nawaz, Rizwan, Mohammed Naushad and Mohammed Irshan - were arrested within hours of the murder that took place on January 3 at Katipalla. The first two accused sustained bullet injuries when the police opened fire to nab them and the other two are being interrogated by the police.

"The police are investigating whether the money was paid for the murder. Deepak Rao was not a prominent leader of BJP, Bajrang Dal or any other organisation. He was only a BJP member. The police are investigating the purpose behind the transfer of money," said a police officer, who is part of the investigation team.

Local MLA B A Mohiuddin Bava earlier revealed that Pinki Navaz was an activist of BJP minority morcha and that he had campaigned for BJP candidate Krishna J Palemar in 2013 assembly elections. However, Palemar has disowned Pinki Navaz. “Bava is spreading lies. Pinki has no connection with BJP,” Palemar claimed.

Meanwhile, Food and Civil Supplies Minister U T Khader has demanded a thorough probe into the background of  the accused. “There is a need for checking the background of all accused who killed Deepak Rao. Details of the persons, who support them financially should also be brought before law," Mr Khader said.

Alappuzha, Jan 9: The houseboat of Nobel Laureate Michael Levitt was blocked in the backwaters here for some time by trade union activists, who were on a nationwide strike against the Centre's "anti-labour" policies on Wednesday.

Michael Levitt, an American-British-Israeli biophysicist and a professor of structural biology at the Stanford University in the United States, said the incident sent a bad message to tourists.

Levitt, who was in Kerala as a state guest, also said he felt as if a bandit had stopped his wife and him at gunpoint. Police said Levitt, who received the 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, was in Alappuzha with his wife and they were stopped by the protesters near Kainakary.

"Being stopped by criminals on the backwaters sends a very bad message to tourists. It is as if a bandit stopped us at gunpoint and delayed us under the threat of force for one hour," Levitt wrote in an email to his tour agent at Kottayam.

In the email, which was later released to the media, he also said the person who blocked them "ignored all arguments that tourists were exempted" from the strike.

"This person, who did this, ignored all arguments that tourists were exempted and that I am a VIP guest of the Kerala government. He was obviously acting, knowing that he was safe from prosecution. Sadly, this makes me fear that India is sinking into lawlessness," Levitt wrote in the email.

The police registered a case after the houseboat owners filed a complaint in this regard.

Reacting to the incident, state Tourism Minister Kadakampally Surendran said the government would take strong action. "Strong action will be taken against those anti-social elements who stopped the boat. Levitt was here as a guest of the state government. The government had made it clear that the tourism industry was exempted from the strike," he said.

Trade union leaders had also announced that the strike would not affect the tourism industry.

Ten trade unions, including the INTUC, the AITUC and the CITU, had called for the nationwide strike to protest against the labour reforms, FDI, disinvestment, corporatisation and privatisation policies of the Centre and press for a 12-point demands of the working class, relating to minimum wage, among others.

The arrested have been identified as Dheerendra (45), a resident of Kanjilakody House in Bantwal taluk, and Sudheer Poojary (44), a resident of Adyar Volabail. Both of them said to be activists of Hindutva groups and had campaigned for BJP during last Lok Sabha polls.

Apart from counterfeit currencies, the cops have recovered a colour printer, two mobile phones and a motor bike from the accused.

According police, on February 23 the miscreants went to a petty shop owned by one Abdul Salam near Suralpady and purchased a Gillette blade costing Rs 20. They handed over Rs 200 currency note to Abdul Salam and took Rs 180 back from him.

The duo then took fake notes back from Abdul Salam and Muhammad Arif and escaped. The next day, Abdul Salam filed a complaint with Bajpe police station.
