Bengaluru: An investigation into the murder of a BJP youth wing leader in the Dakshina Kannada district last week, which had sparked outrage, is underway, said Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, who also expressed confidence that the culprits will be arrested as soon as possible.
He added that the National Investigation Agency (NIA) officials have already started gathering Preliminary information, however, the case will be officially handed to them soon.
In response to criticism that he had skipped going to the residences of Masood (18), who had recently been murdered in Bellare, and Mohammed Fazil (23), who had recently been hacked to death at Surathkal, Bommai said, “I will surely visit in the days to come.”
