Bharatiya Janata Party State president Nalin Kumar Kateel visited the family of Harsha, a Hindutva activist, at Seegehatti in Shivamogga on Wednesday.
Mr. Kateel told the family members that the party would stand by the family and assured them that the Government would take all measures to punish the accused involved in Harsha’s murder. The party president handed over a cheque of ₹10 lakh to the family members.
He enquired about the health of Harsha’s mother Padma, who had been in shock since her son’s death. He and other BJP leaders, including RDPR Minister K.S. Eswharappa and BJP’s State vice-president B.Y. Vijayendrra, asked her to take care of her health.
