“Failure of law and order …” BJP MLA Y Bharat slams Karnataka govt on Suhas Shetty murder case

Mangaluru (Karnataka), May 02, 2025 (ANI): A rowdy-sheeter, Suhas Shetty, who was associated with Bajrang Dal and was also the main accused in the 2022 Fazil murder case, was hacked to death by a group of assailants on May 01. On this incident, Mangaluru city North BJP MLA Y Bharat Shetty said, "This is a failure of law and order in Karnataka. The government has indirectly supported the rowdies, anti-social and jihadi elements in the state and because of this they are doing what they want to do. The police are busy with their transfers and all these things. The government is busy transferring them, suspending them. They are more interested in putting BJP workers behind bars. This is a great loss to the family and Hindu society. A bandh has been called, we are supporting it and will join it. He was a Hindu activist. There is a failure on the part of the state government. We have to demand an NIA inquiry because the information we are getting is that PFI members may be involved in this. A lot of sleeper cells are also active in this part of the state, so we need to be very careful."
