BJP demands probe into PFI's role in Suhas Shetty murder
Mangaluru: A delegation of BJP, led by party state general secretary V Sunil Kumar, Dakshina Kannada MP Capt Brijesh Chowta, MLAs and MLCs met Mangaluru City police commissioner Anupam Agrawal on Thursday. They expressed dissatisfaction over 'flaws at every stage of investigation' into the Suhas Shetty murder case."The investigation into the murder of Hindu activist Suhas Shetty by fanatical forces reveals flaws at every stage, with no signs of progress. A month before Shetty's murder, on March 31, 2025, criminals threatened him on social media, saying they would kill him. There is an attempt to protect the large-scale financial network, both domestic and international, that supported this murder case. There is strong suspicion that the banned PFI is involved in this murder plot and received funding from abroad through the same organisation," the BJP eight people were arrested so far in connection with the murder, and questions remain about the identity and lack of arrests of others seen in the viral video. The brutal murder of Suhas Shetty occurred in front of the SDPI office, and seven or eight individuals emerged from the SDPI office with weapons and attacked Suhas, according to eyewitnesses, the BJP members alleged in a Suhas Shetty's murder, police should have focused on identifying the perpetrators, their backgrounds, and those who assisted them.

It poses a challenge to the country's internal security, communal harmony, and the integrity of the democratic law enforcement system, as banned organisations, communal extremist activities, and organised crime by anti-national destructive forces are involved. This case must be investigated transparently and independently, without any interference," said MLA Sunil Kumar, demanding an NIA probe into Suhas Shetty's MLAs D Vedavyas Kamath, Y Bharath Shetty, Umanath Kotian, Harish Poonja, Bhagirath Murulya and MLCs Prathap Simha Nayak, and Kishore Kumar Puttur were to visit M'luruBJP national president and Union minister JP Nadda will visit Dharmasthala on Sunday.
