Three murdered in car in Tumkur; MMYC calls for CID probe
Bengaluru: The Mangaluru Muslim Youth Council (MMYC) has demanded a thorough investigation into the killing of three individuals, Shahul (45), Ishak (55), and Siddique (34), whose bodies were found in a burnt car at Kuchchangi lake in Tumkur district. The MMYC urged the state government to hand over the case to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
At a press conference at the Nagar Press Club, MMYC General Secretary Junaid P.K. stated, "The police have arrested two suspects, Pataraju and Gangaraju, in connection with the case. It has been revealed that the victims were lured with money before being murdered. This heinous act has shocked society."

Investigating officers have reported that the suspects admitted to receiving Rs 6 lakh from the victims under the pretext of arranging funds, but they allegedly demanded Rs 50 lakhs. Additionally, Ishak's wife claimed that Ishak had pledged Rs 35 lakhs in gold and his house, which may have led to a robbery motive.
MMYC President Abubakar H. and other office bearers Salim CM, Samad Maddadka, Bashir Puncha, Ubaidullah, Shabir Uzire and others were present in the press conference. Junaid PK warned, "If the government does not conduct a proper investigation and provide adequate compensation to the victims' families, we will be forced to protest."
The MMYC is concerned that there may be a larger network involved in the murders and believes that a high-level investigation by the CID is necessary to uncover the truth.
