Bengaluru: Home Minister G Parameshwara on Saturday said that the investigation on rationalist M M Kalburgi’s murder is heading in the right direction and the state agency which is probing the high-profile case has gathered some crucial clues and evidence.
Speaking to reporters, the Home Minister said that the Maharashtra police cooperated with investigating authorities in Karnataka and helped in providing certain details and is on the verge of cracking the case at the earliest.
Rationalist MM Kalburgi was shot dead by two unidentified men at his residence in August 2015. The culprits in the Kalburgi murder case have been linked with the murder cases of rationalists Narendra Dabholkar and Govind Panasare.
Commenting on a top-secret nuclear city to produce thermonuclear weapons coming up in Karnataka, he said, “The only thing we know is that land was given to the defence establishments and that the DRDO was setting up something.”
Earlier on Friday, a leading American foreign policy journal, in its investigative report stated that India is building a top-secret nuclear city to produce thermonuclear weapons and when completed in 2017, the facility would be the subcontinent’s largest military-run complex of nuclear centrifuges.
