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.

Pawan Khera denied anticipatory bail in passport case: Cong stands up for senior member
New Delhi: The Congress party has stood by Pawan Khera, the Chairman of the party’s Media and Publicity Department, expressing confidence that regardless of hurdles like politics of threat and intimidation, justice would emerge victorious.
Khera was denied anticipatory bail by the Gauhati High Court on Friday in the case filed against him by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's wife Riniki Bhuyan Sarma for alleging that she possessed not only multiple passports but also undisclosed properties abroad.
Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has said in a post in Hindi on his ‘X’ account, “The entire Indian National Congress stands in solidarity with Pawan Khera, the Chairman of its Media and Publicity Department. The process to challenge the Gauhati High Court’s decision in the Supreme Court is underway.” In the post, which he put up on Friday, Ramesh has added, “We are confident that justice will prevail over the politics of threats, intimidation, and harassment.”
Bhuyan Sarma has lodged also an FIR seeking legal action against Pawan Khera for his allegations that she possesses passports of three countries and owns a company in the US, which had invested Rs. 50,000 crores. She has filed criminal cases against the Congress leader at the Guwahati Crime Branch Police Station under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
