Police have arrested six persons in connection with the murder of a 'Yuva brigade' member Venugopal Nayak, on Tuesday.
The arrested are Manikanta, Sandesh, Anil, Shankar, Manju and Harris. All are said to be from T Narasipur town. Personal enmity was the reason behind the murder, according to the police investigating the matter.
It is said that following a clash between groups over a petty issue during the Hanuma Jayanti programme in the taluk on Saturday night, the group had allegedly hatched a plan and murdered Venugopal on Sunday night.
BJP's action
The BJP has condemned the murder of the 'Yuva brigade' member as well as the murder of a Jain monk in Belagavi district and slammed the Congress party. It has constituted two fact-finding teams to look into the murders.
