The murder of the JD (S) leader has led to slugfest with the regional party leaders blaming the police for the murder. A gang of four to five people, who came in an auto-rickshaw, waylaid him and attacked him with sharp-edged weapons. He was hacked to death by the gang late on Wednesday in Pension Mohalla police station limits,” said Hassan superintendent of police (SP), R Srinivas Gowda. Reacting to the complaint, SP Gowda said that police have registered the complaint. A murder case has been registered under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at the Hassan Town police station, said the police.
