Bajrang Dal activist murder: Two more arrested; CM says call on NIA probe after police investigation

Police said the two arrested — Feroz Pasha (24) and Abdul Khadar (25) — are residents of Shivamogga.

On Sunday night, Harsha alias Harsha Hindu, who was involved in at least five cases of assault and attempt to murder, was attacked by a group of armed assailants.

On Tuesday, the police had arrested six people —Mohammed Kashif, Syed Nadeem, Afsifullah Khan, Rihan, Nihan, Abdul Afnan — in connection with the murder case.

“Several people have been arrested, investigation is on. Depending on what comes out of the investigation it will be decided as to which agency has to investigate further. We should give an opportunity for police to investigate first,” Bommai said.

Meanwhile, speaking to The Indian Express, one of the accused Syed Nadeem’s uncle, Rafeez said Nadeem was suffering from fever and did not step out of the house when Harsha’s murder took place.

“But all of a sudden, the police arrested him stating that he was accused in Harsha’s case. We do not know what is going on,” Rafeez said.
