"T Narasipura tahsildar murdered by sand mafia" : Shobha

Bengaluru: Udupi-Chikkamagalur MP Shobha Karandlaje and BJP state general secretary charged that T Narasipura tahsildar B Shankaraiah did not commit suicide but was murdered by the sand mafia.

Shankaraiah was found hanging in his residential quarters in T Narasipura in Mysuru district.

Addressing the gathering at the Vishwakarma Mahasabha, Shobha said, “The state government is closing the scene and claiming that Shankaraiah committed suicide.
