The Kalaburagi district unit of the BJP on Wednesday has demanded a judicial inquiry into alleged fake shoot-out by the police against the party workers on June 15.
Unit president Shivaraj Patil Raddewadagi and BJP State vice-president Malikayya Guttedar told presspersons that Congress leaders and police were targeting BJP workers.
The police arrested Saibanna Karachagi after shooting him in his leg. Mr. Guttedar alleged that police were trying to target Saibanna Jamadar, who is nowhere related to the sand mafia. The tractor used by his brother Siddappa Jamadar to transport illegally extracted sand reportedly crushed a police constable to death. The vehicle was registered in the name of Saibanna Jamadar.
