Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Shobha Karandlaje on Sunday met the family of late BJP Yuva Morcha leader Praveen Nettaru at his residence in Nettaru near Bellare in Sulia taluk and consoled the bereaved family.
Ms. Karandlaje handed over a check of ₹5 lakh, her monthly salary and emoluments to the family, promising that the governments would take action against the perpetrators of the crime.
The Union Minister had written a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah on the very next day of the murder, urging him to hand over the investigation to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
Talking to reporters, he said that a comprehensive investigation is needed to find out whether there was any bigger conspiracy behind the murder and to find out the groups involved. He said that since the state government has handed over the investigation to the NIA, it is expected that the investigation will be completed very soon.
