Even as the Mysuru district police arrested four more persons, taking the total number of arrests in the murder of Yuva Brigade activist Venugopal Nayak in T. Narispur to six, a delegation of the BJP led by party national general secretary C.T. Ravi visited the house of the deceased on Tuesday and paid condolences to the family.
Mr. Ravi, who was accompanied by former Minister C.N. Ashwath Narayan, MLA Srivatsa, Mysuru Mayor Shivakumar and others, sought a comprehensive investigation while expressing anxiety over the proximity of the accused to “influential” people.
The BJP delegation, which is also conducting a fact-finding exercise, said the party will accept the police investigations only if they are on the right track. “Else, we will demand a probe by NIA,” he said.
