Mangaluru: BJP demands NIA probe into Suhas Shetty murder, announces Rs 25 lakh compensation
Mangaluru: BJP state president B.Y. Vijayendra has demanded that the murder case of Suhas Shetty, who was killed in Bajpe on Thursday, be handed over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA). Vijayendra, along with Leader of Opposition R. Ashok and other senior BJP leaders, visited Suhas Shetty’s residence on Friday to meet and console the bereaved family.
Addressing the media after the visit, Vijayendra expressed strong dissatisfaction with the state government and the police department. “There is public outrage across Karnataka over the murder of Suhas Shetty. The incident is condemnable. It is unfortunate that despite threats to his life, the police failed to provide protection. This reflects a complete failure on the part of the state government, the Home Department, and the police,” he said.
He accused the Congress-led government of neglecting the safety of Hindu activists and organisations. “The present government’s policies have created an unsafe environment for Hindu workers and organisations. People have lost trust in the Congress government,” Vijayendra added.
He further announced a financial compensation of Rs 25 lakh on behalf of the BJP to Suhas Shetty’s family. “We have assured the family of our support. Their world has been shattered by this incident. The government should also come forward and announce compensation, recognising the seriousness of the matter,” he said.
Vijayendra also pointed out that such targeted killings were being repeated in the state. “Whenever such incidents happen, the government has failed to support Hindu organisations. If there is any humanity left in this government, they should act now,” he said.
Leader of Opposition R. Ashok, MLAs Bharat Shetty, Rajesh Naik, Yashpal Suvarna, Bhagirathi Murulya, and BJP district president Satish Kumpala were present during the visit.

Tripura student's partner put sanitiser in her private parts, filmed her nude: Gurugram police
Gurugram (PTI): Days after a 19-year-old woman from Tripura was hospitalised in a serious condition following an assault by her live-in partner, police on Sunday said that the accused also burned her private parts using sanitiser and filmed her nude.
The woman’s mother alleged that the accused, who befriended her daughter online and had promised to marry her, confined her to a room for three days and even forced her to drink urine.
According to police, the woman’s condition is now stable.
The accused, Shivam (19), a resident of Delhi’s Narela, was arrested on Thursday based on an FIR registered against him at the Badshahpur police station.
The woman’s mother, a police officer in Tripura, claimed that on February 16, around 10 pm, she received a distress call from her daughter.
My daughter told me, "I don't have time, I will be killed... Shivam has been beating me and burning me for the last three days. He will kill me today."
The mother further alleged that the accused confined her daughter to a room for three days and tortured her. She also accused Shivam of forcing her daughter to drink urine and burning her private parts using sanatiser.
She said the accused also stabbed her daughter multiple times.
The mother then approached the Gurugram police, who rescued her daughter.
"My daughter is very bright in her studies. She had come to Gurugram to study. However, Shivam lured her into a trap through an online app. My daughter's condition is very serious,” she said, adding that strict action should be taken against the accused.
Earlier, police said that Shivam had allegedly established physical relations with the woman who is a college student, promising her marriage.
The couple had been living together in a paying guest accommodation in Sector 69 for the last few months. During this period, he allegedly began assaulting her after suspecting her of cheating.
A Gurugram Police spokesperson said the case has been marked for close monitoring.
“Charges of rape and assault have already been added to the FIR, and the accused has been sent to jail. Further investigation is underway,” he said.
The spokesperson added that the woman’s condition is now stable.
Police had said that on February 19, the couple had an altercation after which the accused assaulted the woman, severely injuring her. Upon receiving a call from her mother police reached the flat and rescued her.
The accused allegedly attacked the victim in a fit of rage, suspecting her of cheating on him, police had said.
The woman was initially admitted to AIIMS-Delhi and is currently undergoing treatment at Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi, police said.
