Six activists of Karnataka Forum for Dignity were arrested in connection with kidnap and murder of two college students hailing from Hunsur on June 8, Minister for Home R Ashok said today.

Addressing a press conference here, he said that Sudhindra and Vignesh were kidnapped on June 8 from Mysore while they were on their way to write examination. On June 10 they sent a letter through KSRTC Driver from Madikeri to Sudhindra’s father Mohankumar, Hardware Merchant, demanding Rs five crore ransom for release. Later, they called up from Krishnagiri in Tamil Nadu and Kengeri pressing for the ransom. When they failed to get money they gruesomely murdered both and threw the bodies at Chikballapur which was recovered on June 12. The victims were first given sleeping pills, strangulated and stabbed to death.

Two special teams were formed immediately after getting the complaint and the culprits were nabbed while moving in two cars at Bangalore University campus.

The arrested were identified as Adil, Amin, Rehaman, Kousar, Atavulla and Safir Ahmed.

DG and IGP S T Ramesh, who was also present, said the government would be requested to set up a special court and appoint special prosecutor for speedy trial of the case as it was done earlier in cases involving serial killer.

The arrested were involved in communal violence at Mysore in 2009 and had served three months jail at Gulbarga prison.

Replying to a question, he said the main intention was to collect money, distribute 50 per cent among themselves and remaining for the KFD organisation.

Investigation would be further intensified to unearth about the organisation and their activities.
