Daijiworld Media Network - Udupi
Udupi, Jun 2: In a surprise news, two people have been arrested by Kota police on Wednesday June 1 near Kotatattu panchayat office, for planning the murder of popular MLC, BJP leader Kota Srinivas Poojary.
The arrested are Raghavendra of Hosanagar and Basheer, a resident of Siddapur Hosangadi. Police said that these have been plotting Poojary's murder with two other people, Handatti Santosh and Trasi Raghavendra, who are in jail.
The residents of the area have expressed shock over the news, as MLC Kota Srinivas Poojary is a well-accepted leader and has rarely had enmity with anyone. He is considered one of the clean politicians who gets along with all political leaders around the region.
Police are still not able to gather whether this was politically motivated or the result of a personal grudge.
