Special force to hunt down killers of RSS worker

A special force headed by a Deputy Commissioner of Police has been constituted to nab those involved in the murder of RSS worker Raju, Home Minister G Parameshwara informed the Legislative Council on Tuesday.

Replying to the Raju murder issue raised by the BJP members, Parameshwara said the special force would have three Assistant Commissioners of Police, six inspectors and supporting staff.

He said the Central Crime Branch police were already investigating the case and the special force would help in nabbing the culprits at the earliest. He said the government would act firmly against those responsible for the violence in Mysuru after Raju’s murder. The government had deployed 2,500 police personnel in Mysuru soon after Raju’s murder to ensure law and order, he said.

However, G Madhusudan (BJP) said normalcy had not been restored in Mysuru. “Citizens are afraid of venturing out in the evening for fear of being attacked. The police are yet to take action against miscreants who threatened people with deadly weapons,” he said.

Parameshwara suggested that Madhusudan help the police identify the
miscreants from the video-clipping. The BJP members staged a walkout blaming the government for taking the Mysuru incident “lightly”.
