Karnataka CM says he will visit kin of Masood, Faazil soon
Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Monday said he would be visiting the families of Masood and Faazil in days to come. He said he would schedule a visit to their houses. Masood and Faazil were murdered recently in two separate attacks at Bellare and Surathkal of Dakshina Kannada district.
CM’s statement comes following widespread dissent among the people of Dakshina Kannada district after the CM skipped visiting the houses of Masood and Faazil while he visited the house of Praveen Nettaru, the BJP youth leader who was also assaulted and killed last week. The three murders in a span of ten days had triggered tension in the district.
On Monday, while addressing the presspersons, the CM was asked about the dissent among people as he skipped visiting the houses of Masood and Faazil. He was also told about former Karnataka CM HD Kumaraswamy visiting the kin of all three deceased youngsters on Monday.
Responding to this, CM Bommai said, “In the coming days, I will definitely be visiting their houses”, he said.
“The investigation into Praveen’s murder case is in progress. Very soon, the accused will be located. This case will be handed over to the NIA in another two days. The NIA has already been informed unofficially. Concerning this case, some NIA officials are now in the process of obtaining primary information in Kerala and Mangaluru”, CM informed.
