Kishore Kumar condemns politicization of Neha's murder, calls It as heinous as the crime itself
Bengaluru: Renowned actor Kishore Kumar expressed deep sorrow over the tragic death of Neha, calling it an unforgivable crime and a defeat for society. However, he strongly criticized the politicization of Neha's murder, particularly attempts to paint it with communal colors for political gain.
In a social media post, Kishore questioned the appropriateness of turning a tragic murder into a Hindu-Muslim issue. He highlighted the alarming statistics of daily murders and crimes against women in the country, emphasizing that blaming entire communities for individual crimes is unjustifiable.
Kishore Kumar stressed that justice for the criminal should be the focus for both the opposition and everyone else, rather than using Neha's death to fuel communal tensions for political mileage. He called for stringent punishment for the arrested criminal and the witness to ensure that such crimes are deterred in the future.
While acknowledging that no punishment can bring Neha back, Kishore Kumar urged authorities to address the root causes of rising crimes against women and ensure that tragedies like Neha's are not repeated.

Hemant Karkare killed by RSS-linked cop, not Kasab: Maharashtra LoP Vijay Wadettiwar
BJP writes to ECI for action against Cong leader Wadettiwar for 'defaming' Ujjwal Nikam
Mumbai, May 5: The BJP has written to the Election Commission of India seeking action against Congress and the opposition leader, Vijay Wadettiwar, for allegedly peddling lies and defaming its Mumbai North Central nominee and ex-26/11 prosecution lawyer Ujjwal Nikam.
Wadettiwar, the leader of the opposition in the Maharashtra legislative assembly, purportedly called Nikam an "anti-national" and accused him of hiding the information that then Maharashtra ATS chief Hemant Karkare wasn't killed by Kasab's bullet during the 26/11 terror attack, but fell to a bullet of a policeman affiliated to RSS.
His allegations were based on the book "Who Killed Karkare" written by retired police officer SM Mushriff.
"As a responsible leader, the opposition leader should desist from making such comments that can help the enemy nation," Nikam said.
Terming Wadettiwar's statements as "false and not based on facts", Mumbai BJP president Ashish Shekar claimed they were aimed at defaming Ujjwal Nikam and inciting emotions.
"We have written to the Election Commission of India seeking action against Wadettiwar who is a star campaigner (of Congress) and also against the Congress party for peddling lies," he added.
Shelar further said (Ajmal) Kasab was sentenced to death for killing innocent people after following a due process of law.
Kasab was the lone terrorist who was captured alive by Mumbai Police during the 26/11 terror attack by Pakistani terrorists in which at least 166 people were killed and several others were injured.
Shelar wondered whether Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray supported the statement made by the Congress leader.
A former special public prosecutor, Nikam had represented the state in high-profile cases like the Mumbai serial bomb blasts and the 2008 Mumbai terror attack.
He is making his political foray from Mumbai North Central seat on a BJP ticket and is pitted against city Congress chief Varsha Gaikwad.
