Bajrang Dal activist was killed by Musalmaan goondas - Min. Eshwarappa

I'm very disturbed by the murder of a Bajrang Dal activist. He was killed by 'Musalmaan goondas'(Muslim goons). I'm going to Shivamogga now to analyse the situation. We'll not allow 'goondaism', says Karnataka Minister KS Eshwarappa.

A Bajrang Dal activist Harsha(26) was allegedly murdered yesterday at around 9 pm in Shivamogga. Security heightened in the city. Talking on this matter, Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai informed media that, "One Harsha was stabbed to death yesterday. Few leads have been gathered in the incident during the investigation which started last night".

Karnataka Home Minister Araga Jnanendra has said, "A group of 4-5 youth murdered him. I don't know of any organization being behind this murder. Law & order situation under control in Shivamogga. As a precautionary measure, schools and colleges in city limits have been closed for two days".

The overall situation is peaceful. Local police, RAF are deployed to maintain law and order. Section 144 has been declared in the area. Further probe into the incident is underway
