Four including Sangh Parivar activist identified as suspects in Surathkal stabbing case
Surathkal: The police team investigating the stabbing of two men by a group at a bar in town on Thursday has reportedly identified four suspects, with one of them found to be a member of the Sangh Parivar.
The group stabbed Hasan Murshid (18) of Hillside in Krishnapura, and Nizam (23) of Chokkabettu in Surathkal near Deepak Bar in town on Thursday night.
Surathkal Police Inspector Pramod Kumar and his team are learned to have visited the crime scene with a friend of the attack victims and inspected the area. On checking the CCTV camera footage, the police team found that the suspects, Gururaj, who is a Sangh Parivar activist and rowdy sheeter and his acquaintances Alex Santhosh, Sushanth and Nitin, had attacked Murshid and Nizam on Thursday.
A group of policemen immediately raided the Gururaj’s hideout, but found that the suspect had escaped from there.
The CCTV camera also recorded an argument between the group and the victims and three of their friends at the bar. The verbal duel intensified into a fight and resulted in the stabbing. Murshid’s hands are said to have been injured when he attempted to stop the attack.
