Many have been arrested and they are being interrogated  in the case related to the murder of Harsha in Shivamogga. Investigation is on. Based on the outcome of the investigation we will decide as to which agency should be assigned the task of further investigation, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said.

Speaking to media persons he said, maintaining peace, law and order is our priority. Curfew is in force in Shivamogga.

Reacting to Congress leaders’ charge that Harsha’s funeral procession was a government sponsored event violating section 144, Bommai said, “Congress leaders are used to government sponsored programmes in the past. They are saying this based on their own experience.”

Replying to a question on his Delhi trip, the Chief Minister said that he had no such plans for now.
