In another incident, the National Investigation Agency on Tuesday conducted searches at the houses of three absconding suspects in a case pertaining to the killing of BJP Yuva Morcha member Praveen Nettaru by members of the banned Popular Front of India in Karnataka last year, an official said.


According to the official, several electronic gadgets and documents were seized during the searches at the houses of Abdul Nasir and Abdul Rahaman in Kodagu district and Naushad in Dakshina Kannada district. The searches were carried out in three locations in two districts as a part of the investigation agency's efforts to nab the absconders, federal agency's spokesperson said.


"All three are suspected of harbouring the main assailants of Nettaru at various hideouts across Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Besides the trio, five other accused are still absconding in the case which NIA took over in August 2022," the spokesperson said, as quoted by the news agency PTI.
