Mangalore: Eight people have been arrested in connection with the murder of Bajrang Dal leader Suhas Shetty. Police said that the murder was the result of a dispute between quotation groups and that it was not a political murder.
The arrests were made by members of a gang led by a local goon named Safwan. In 2023, Safwan was attacked by Suhas Shetty’s friend Prashant. Safwan, who was hospitalized in critical condition in the attack, had a grudge against Prashant.
It was Suhas Shetty who protected Prashant. Police explain that this grudge is believed to have led to the murder.
