Bengaluru: Amid alleged political links, rowdy murder case sent to CID
Bengaluru: The state govt has transferred the probe into the murder of rowdy-sheeter Shivaprakash alias Biklu Shivu to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). The move comes in the backdrop of the alleged involvement of powerful individuals and the risk of pressure on local police. An order entrusting the case to CID's additional director general of police, BK Singh, was issued by the DG-IGP, MA Saleem. A senior officer said while local police are capable of probing the case, the transfer was necessitated by the alleged role of land mafia and links to politicians. The victim had, earlier this year, approached the then Bengaluru police commissioner, alleging threats from an MLA and others. The matter was handed to an assistant commissioner of police but did not progress further.

The victim's mother later filed a complaint naming BJP MLA from KR Pura, BA Basavaraj, as one of the accused. He is listed as suspect number five in the FIR and has appeared twice before police to give statements. The CID is expected to take over the case records and re-examine the investigation.
