He was taken into custody on Friday by an SIT probing the Kalburgi case. Miskin’s links with the Kalburgi case had emerged last year, after which the Karnataka CID had arrested him. AdvertisingChatur’s arrest in the Kalburgi case comes close on the heels of the Karnataka SIT’s arrest on May 28 of Amol Kale, a key accused in the Lankesh case, for involvement in the Kalburgi murder. Chatur is the first of five persons arrested in the Kalburgi case who are not directly involved in the Lankesh murder. Unlike the Gauri Lankesh case which was planned very meticulously, many mistakes were made in the Dharwad case, which led to the identification of the suspects,” sources said.
