While Neha Hiremath’s father Niranjan Hiremath expressed satisfaction over the progress of investigation of his daughter’s murder on Tuesday, BJP State president B.Y. Vijayendra, who met the family, has said that the State government is trying to mislead investigation.
Speaking to presspersons in Hubballi on Tuesday after consoling the family members, Mr. Vijayendra clarified that there is no question of politicising the issue, but they have continued their protest because of the actions and statements of Ministers and the Chief Minister that indicated appeasement politics.
Mr. Vijayendra said that even when Congress leader Akanda Srinivas Murthy’s house was torched by miscreants, the Congress government failed to provide justice to their leader. Now the same is happening in the killing of Neha also and the statements of Ministers indicated appeasement, he said.
