SIT probe demanded into RTI activist’s murder

Mangaluru: Upset at the slow growth into the investigation of the homicide of RTI activist Vinayak Baliga, Deshapremi Sanghatanegala Okkuta, on Wednesday, determined to appeal for a special investigation workforce to convey the accused to ebook.
Narendra Nayak, president, Federation of Indian Rationalist Associations, demanded that for the reason that accused are all top profile other people, and police within the district have been neatly acquainted with them, a special investigation workforce should be constituted from outside the district to research the case.

This call for took place all the way through a commemoration ceremony of the slain RTI activist, all the way through his 2nd demise anniversary.

Baliga used to be a BJP booth-level employee, who had wondered a variety of irregularities, together with the misuse of price range at the temple. Baliga had also filed cases in opposition to a residential advanced in his locality, which had not put in a sewage treatment plant, and a faculty for having been constructed on more than two times the sanctioned house, among different issues.


In a supplementary chargesheet filed by way of investigating officer Uday Nayak at the 3rd judicial Justice of the Peace first class courtroom on December 17, 2016, the officer stated that Baliga’s homicide used to be an act of revenge following the activist’s accusations on the subject of the involvement of Shenoy in a robbery reported at a temple right here.
