Police should take action without any biases: Siddaramaiah on BJP youth leader's murder
Bengaluru, Jul 27: Condemning the killing of a BJP Yuva Morcha member, Leader of Opposition in Karnataka and former chief minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday asked police to take action against the perpetrators without any "biases".
Praveen Nettar, a Zilla BJP Yuva Morcha committee member, was hacked to death in front of his broiler shop at Bellare in Dakshina Kannada district by three bike-borne miscreants on Tuesday night.
"I condemn the murder of Bajrang Dal leader Praveen Nettaru in Dakshina Kannada. Police should immediately arrest the murderers and prevent unrest in the region. Police should take action against the perpetrators without any biases," Siddaramaiah said in a tweet.
Another former chief minister and JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy, questioning as to when this string of killings would end, asked about the BJP government's inaction after the similar killing of Bajrang Dal activist Harsha in Shivamogga in February.
"...why BJP government is making no attempt to see to it that such killings don't happen, instead of showing activeness after instances of murder," he said in a tweet, while noting that such bloodsheds happen when elections approach.
It is always the children from poor families who become victims of such killings, Kumaraswamy said, as he hit out at the government accusing it of inaction against "unseen hands" behind such killings.
Tension prevailed at several places in Dakshina Kannada district on Wednesday with instances of stone-pelting and police lathi-charge being reported following the murder.
I condemn the murder of Bajrang Dal leader Praveen Nettaru in Dakshina Kannada.

KKR hammer DC by eight wickets as Allen smashes unbeaten ton
New Delhi (PTI): Finn Allen smashed a 47-ball 100 not out as Kolkata Knight Riders thrashed Delhi Capitals by eight wickets to register their fourth win on the trot in the IPL, here on Friday.
Opting to bowl, KKR spinners led by Sunil Narine strangled Delhi Capitals in the middle overs on a tacky surface to restrict them to 142/8.
Pathum Nissanka struck a quick 50 (29 balls; 5x4, 3x6) but Delhi lost momentum after his dismissal, scoring just 11 runs between the 12th and 16th overs as Anukul Roy (2/31), Kartik Tyagi (2/25) and Sunil Narine (1/17) applied the brakes.
Ashutosh Sharma’s late 28-ball 39 (3x4, 3x6), gave Delhi some respite.
In reply, Allen, who came in as Impact Sub for Varun Chakravarthy, smashed 10 sixes and five fours to make it a lopsided chase as KKR sealed the win in just 14.2 overs.
Brief Scores:
Delhi Capitals 142/8 in 20 overs (Pathum Nissanka 50, Ashutosh Sharma 39; Anukul Roy 2/31, Kartik Tyagi 2/25). Kolkata Knight Riders 147/2 in 14.2 overs (Finn Allen 100 not out).
