Nadda demands CBI probe into Neha murder case

Condemning the MCA student Neha Hiremath’s murder, BJP national president J P Nadda on Sunday demanded a thorough investigation in the Neha matter.

Speaking to reporters in Hubbali, Nadda asked the state government to hand over the case to ‘CBI’.

MCA student Neha was stabbed to death by her friend Fayaz at BVB College campus in Hubballi on April 18. Condemning the murder, various organisations have been staging a series of protests across the state demanding stringent action against the accused.

Nadda was speaking to media persons after visiting Neha's family to console them at Bidnal in Hubballi on Sunday. Nadda said such incidents should not repeat anywhere, hence thorough investigation should be done. He asked the Congress government in the state to hand over the case.

He said he spoke to Neha’s father Niranjanayya, mother Geeta and others. As per the parents' demand the Karnataka state government should hand over the case to CBI.

“Neha’s murder is an attack on humanity, and it is a heart wrenching incident." BJP condemned the attack and the country is with their family. "We all will fight for justice for Neha’s death,” said the saffron party chief.

Don’t influence investigation:

Attacking the Congress government, Nadda said Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Home Minister G Parameshwara’s statements influencing and diluting the investigation. It is not right to give statements before the investigation. The Congress government should stop appeasement politics and people of the state will not forgive it.
