The hearing into RTI activist Vinayaka Baliga murder case has reached a decisive stage. Identifying of the butcher knife used in the murder, by the shop keeper who had sold it to the accused killers has made the case stronger. There are a total of 7 accused in the murder case, including NaMo brigade founder Naresh Shenoy who is the main accused. As the accused were very influential, major witnesses had given statements in their favour which had made the case weaker. The shop keeper who had sold the murder weapon had turned a hostile witness too. But S Balan, the special prosecutor has succeeded in bringing out the truth from these hostile witnesses by cross-examination in the court.
