Kalburgi killing investigation to be handed over to SIT
Bengaluru, June 16: The state government has decided to hand over the murder case of rationalist M.M Kalburgi to Special Investigation Team (SIT) and an notification will be released about the same within two weeks, officials said.
Kalburgi was killed three years ago and the government is now mulling to hand over the case to SIT. The home ministry has decided to discuss the issue with the senior officers of the SIT team probing Gauri Lankesh murder case, a senior official informed.
It is said that, in connection to Gauri Lankesh murder details of 1.5 crore phone calls have been collected within five months. But in Kalaburgi case it is impossible to collect the details of all the phone calls where the murder took place.
Parashuram Vaghmore, Amol Kale and other accused in Gauri Lankesh murder are tight lipped about Kalburgi's murder. Although the weapons used in both the killing are same, it is very difficult to trace the culprits on this basis, said a senior official.
Gouri Lankesh murder accused had also planned to kill rationalist Bhagavan and they even had the name of Jnanpith awardee litterateur Girish Karnad in their hit list, it was learnt during investigation.

Yadgir: Dead bodies of boys who went grazing found in village stream
Yadgir: In a shocking incident reported from Devathkal village of Surapur taluk, two boys, Shreyanna (8) and Yuvaraja (9), who were grazing cattle, died of drowning on Sunday afternoon as they went for a bath in a stream nearby.
The boys had reportedly gone missing in the waters of the stream on Sunday afternoon. The family members found the boys’ clothes on the banks of the stream but, as their search for the boys proved futile, they brought the matter to the notice of the police and fire brigade.

The search was resumed on Monday morning and, at around 9 am on Monday, the bodies of both boys were found in the stream, sources have said.
