Police link Fazil's brother to Suhas Shetty murder; Karnataka Speaker Khader faces heat

Mangaluru, May 3 (UNI) In a major political flashpoint, Karnataka Assembly Speaker UT Khader's public defence of Mohammed Fazil’s family in connection with the murder of Hindutva activist Suhas Shetty has been contradicted by Mangaluru Police Commissioner Anupam Agarwal, who confirmed the involvement of Fazil’s brother in the murder case.
Khader had on Friday told reporters in Bengaluru that he had spoken to Fazil’s father and brothers, and that they had “no connection” with the killing of Shetty, who was hacked to death on Thursday night. Khader attributed the brutal murder of Shetty to a “personal grudge” and “rivalry” between groups.
However, just hours later, Police Commissioner Agarwal told the media that Adil, Fazil’s brother, was among those involved in executing Shetty’s murder—a revelation that directly undermined the Speaker’s assertion and triggered a firestorm of criticism from the BJP.
