Anwar Shaikh, who originally hails from Haveri, but was living in Margao town in South Goa had a wide range of criminal cases including murder, assault, rape, extortion filed against him in various police stations across Goa.
In the 1:08 minute video Shaikh, who is wielding a gun is seen being hacked brutally to death with a machete and an axe by a group of persons on a public road in Haveri.
A senior Goa Police official said that the Haveri District police had contacted them in connection with the murder investigation.
