Praveen Nettarus murder case, we will hand over NIA investigation if necessary: CM Bommai

Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said in Bengaluru that if necessary, the NIA will investigate the murder of BJP youth leader Praveen Nettaru.

A BJP Yuva Morcha worker was murdered in Mangalore yesterday. He came on a scooter and committed murder. I have instructed the police to take immediate action. It is very close to the Kerala border. Karnataka Police is in touch with Kerala Police. Mangalore SP is already in constant contact with Kasaragod SP. The DGP of the state is also in touch with the DGP of Kerala. "We will arrest them as soon as possible," he said.

The government has taken this case very seriously. On the surface it looks like premeditated murder. Similar to other cases, it is compatible. We will take action as soon as possible. We will punish fiercely, have no doubt. He said that he will not rest until the perpetrators are suppressed.

We will soon arrest those who committed the murder and subject them to severe punishment. Whoever is behind the incident will be arrested. No one should be charged. CM Bommai appealed to maintain peace.
