Mangaluru: In the wake of the murder of Hindu activist Suhas Shetty in Bajpe on May 1, Dakshina Kannada MP Captain Brijesh Chowta has urged Union Home Minister Amit Shah to hand over the case to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
In his letter, Chowta mentioned Suhas Shetty as VHP Karyakarta and expressed grave concern over what he described as a growing pattern of targeted killings by radical elements in coastal Karnataka.
“This incident is not an isolated one, it is part of a larger pattern of growing lawlessness, emboldened Islamic radicalism, and anti-national elements that continue to operate in the coastal Karnataka region. In recent years, we witnessed the targeted killing of Praveen Nettaru, a committed and selfless BJP karyakarta, by PFI activists, an organization which was later banned by our government under the leadership of Sri Narendra Modi. Now another young Hindu life has been extinguished in a similar manner,” he stated.
“I appeal to you with utmost urgency and sincerity that this case be handed over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for a comprehensive and impartial investigation as there is a possibility of involvement of activists from the banned PFI organization,” he added.
Chowta stated that the nation cannot afford to allow radical, anti-national, and jihadi forces to fester in any part of the country.
He urged the Union Home Minister to ensure a thorough probe that would expose the full extent of the conspiracy, including those who may have supported or funded the crime, and called for swift and decisive action to restore public confidence in the rule of law.
