The district unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) staged a protest at Subhas Chandra Bose Circle in Yadgir on Monday against the brutal murder of Hubballi-based student Neha Hiremath and demanded capital punishment for the accused Fayaz.
District Unit President of the BJP Ameenreddy Patil Yalagi led the protesters who shouted slogans against the brutality on the innocent girl.
“The State government is indirectly abetting terrorism and love jihad. The statement by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Home Minister G. Parameshwar only goes to show how seriously the State government has taken the murder,” the protestors said and further demanded that the case be handed over to the CBI for investigation.
