Mangalore, May 12 : Key suspect Hemanth and three others were arrested by the Mangalore police in connection with bus owner Anish Shetty alias Mudipu Anish's murder near Kadri Park.
Anish who was hailed from Ira village of Muloor, Bantwal, and was identified as a rowdy sheeter, was brutally attacked and killed on Friday, May 9 in broad daylight.

Meanwhile, the underworld hand in this murder has also come to the light. Earlier there was confusion as Vishwanath Koraga Shetty and Bannanje Raja both were claiming responsibility for the murder. But a telephone call from Dubai by Vishwanath Koraga Shetty claimed that "Bannanje Raja is not responsible for the murder; it is my men who carried out the attack on Anish according to my instruction".
It is learnt that Anish was threatening businessmen in Mangalore and extorting money from them in the name of Koraga Shetty, but never passing on the money to Koraga Shetty. This had reportedly angered Koraga Shetty and made him take this attack against Anish.
Now police are investigating the case in different angles.
