Family of three murdered accuses police of failing to arrest accused
A What happened
Saroja Bai Kambanoor from Shahabad, Kalaburagi, has accused police of inaction regarding the murders of her two sons and daughter-in-law. The disputes began when her son Girish opposed illegal sand-laden vehicles on his land. Satish was murdered in 2020, followed by Girish in July 2022. Recently, Anjali, Girish's wife, was attacked and died from her injuries. Saroja Bai claims that Vijay Halli and Shankar Allolli orchestrated these murders and that their political connections shield them from arrest. BJP leader Manikanth Rathod supports the family’s claims and calls for an independent investigation by a Special Investigation Team or the Central Bureau of Investigation.
