Udupi: District Superintendent of Police Dr. K Arun has said that Praveen Chowgale, the man detained in relation to the murder of four members of a family at Nejaru, including a woman and her three children, has been subjected to intense questioning as a part of the investigation by the district police team.
Chowgale was taken into custody by the Udupi Police at Kudachi in Raibagh taluk, Belagavi district, on Tuesday for his suspected involvement in the incident.
The SP, addressing reporters at his office on Wednesday, said that the Udupi Police had formed five teams to investigate various aspects of the case. "Chowgale was considered a suspect by the Udupi Police, on the basis of technical and intelligence information received, and taken into custody. He is currently being questioned by our team to get further information related to the case. If his involvement in the murder is confirmed, Chowgale will be arrested and presented before the court for further legal proceedings," said Dr. Arun.
"The media will be given further information related to the case based on the report submitted by the officer in-charge of the investigation. As Chowgale's name was found in neither CISF nor CRPF records, the possibility of his having worked in the Civil Police Department is considered and being investigated," the SP added.

Hasina and her three children Afnan, Aynaz and Asim, who had been residents of Tripthi Layout at Nejaru were stabbed to death in the morning of Sunday, November 12. Haseena's mother-in-law Hajira was also attacked, but escaped from the murderer and saved her life by locking herself in the toilet.
