In a curious twist to an investigation into a burglary case that took place about three weeks ago at Mukkatta, near Nilambur, the police stumbled upon a startling revelation of a gruesome murder of an ethnic healer from Mysuru by a gang from Nilambur.
Shaba Sharif, 60, a traditional healer from Rajiv Nagar, Mysuru, who specialised in piles treatment, was found to have been abducted, persecuted for over a year and murdered by a gang led by Shaibin Ashraf. Sharif’s body was butchered into pieces and thrown into the river Chaliyar from Seethi Haji bridge at Edavanna in October 2020.
Sharif had been missing since August 2, 2019, and the Karnataka police were investigating.
