<p>The police are likely to question the office-bearers of Popular Front of India (PFI), Karnataka Forum for Dignity (KDF) and Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) in connection with the recent murder of RSS worker R Rudresh on Kamaraj Road near Shivajinagar. <br /><br /></p>.<p>“The investigation carried out so far has indicated that Mohammad Sadique, Mohammad Mujibullah, Waseem Ahmad and Irfan Pasha were active members of PFI and SDPI. Irfan Pasha is a rowdy-sheeter in KG Halli and was involved in a murder case. Questioning of the office-bearers of these organisations may throw more light on the murder,” said a senior police officer monitoring the probe.<br /><br />There are reports that a few organisations based in Kerala and coastal regions of Karnataka funded a group of youths to attack a set of persons. The four arrested for Rudresh’s murder have links with such organisations. It is not yet clear why these organisations want to eliminate a set of people in Karnataka, the officer said.<br /><br />Mujibullah told the police that Rudresh would often provoke him over petty issues. Some two months ago, Rudresh threatened Mujibullah that he would teach him a lesson and send his body to Pakistan. He lost cool over certain remarks by Rudresh and decided to attack him, the officer added. <br /><br />Senior police officers are tight-lipped on the identity of the people whom the suspects wanted to murder. <br /><br />“It is said that they wanted to kill a few leaders, including BJP Yuva Morcha state president and Mysuru-Kodagu MP Prathap Simha. But, nothing of that sort has come out during the interrogation, so far. The suspects did not have a list of their targets as has been mentioned in a section of media,” the officer said.<br /><br /></p>
