Mangaluru, Jun 27: NaMo Brigade leader Naresh Shenoy, who was arrested formally on Sunday in connection with the murder of RTI activist Vinayak Baliga, was evading in Gorakhpur and Lucknow of Uttar Pradesh, Jammu-Kashmir and areas bordering Nepal, according to Mangaluru police.
Evidence destroyed
The top cop defended his team of officials who were involved in tracing Naresh, and said that they took over three months to search him as he was on the move since March 21.
Mr. Sekhar said that his officers had ensured that those absconding did not stay at one place for more than a day. “The absconding accused were always on the move.” Mr. Sekhar said that they had also taken precautions to prevent them from fleeing the country.
The murder plan was hatched by Naresh and executed by three of the arrested persons, he said, adding that Baliga's activism is among the reasons for the murder.
Mr Sekhar said that Naresh's interrogation is expected to throw more light on the murder of Baliga, who had filed a number of applications before the Mangaluru City Corporation and other departments under the Right to Information Act. He had also filed a suit questioning the financial dealings of Sri Venkataramana Temple on Car Street here.
Mr. Sekhar said that they were on the look out for Vignesh, a close associate for Naresh Shenoy, who needs to be questioned on certain issues.
Arrest all those helped Naresh'
Meanwhile, rationalist Narendra Nayak, who had led several protests demanding speedy investigation into RTI activist Vinayak Baliga murder case, said that police should arrest all those who provide shelter to Naresh since March 21.
Stating that Naresh could sustain this long only because of some well-connected persons, Mr. Nayak said that the police would arrest all those who helped Naresh evade arrest.
