As many as 12 people are being questioned in connection with the murder of Hindutva activist Harsha in Shivamogga late on February 20 night, Karnataka Home Minister Araga Jnanendra told reporters on February 22 morning.
“We are exploring all angles. We are trying to see if there are any links between the religious organisations behind the hijab row and this episode.”
The Home Minister thanked residents of Shivamogga for not allowing the situation to escalate and restoring peace. “We will not spare the guilty,” he promised. He added that those who had indulged in violence during the funeral procession would also be booked.
