BJP MLA and former Minister of Basavaraj’s development are among the five people reserved for the murder of the noisy Sheeeter and a real estate in Bengalur on Wednesday.
The company was registered on the basis of a complaint by Vijayalakshmi, the mother of the deceased, who reportedly witnessed the murder.
She said that her son Shivaprakash, 44, faced the life threats of the MLA collaborators from February 2025. ShivaPrakash complained about the police. He was allegedly murdered by a gang of eight people who were stimulated by MLA representing Kr Purama. Mr. Basavaraj was listed as accused number five in the company.
According to Mrs. Vijayalakshmi, on Tuesday around 20:10, with ShivaPrakash, his driver Imran Khan and a friend, Loket, involved in an interview on the road in front of their house in Bharathinagar. When she looked from the balcony on the first floor, she saw a group of unidentified attackers to attack ShivaPrakash. When Imran Khan tried to save his son, he was also attacked by deadly weapons. She saw Loket to record an attack on his cell phone. She screamed for help. Assillants who rushed on the spot fled. Until then, her son Shivaprakash was dead, Mrs. Vijayalakshmi said in her complaint.
She said Shivarakash was involved in real estate business as part of an extreme point (promoters and developers) of PVT. Ltd., in the last year. She said that her son was given a general power of attorney (GPA) on the land in Kothanur in 2023. He built a shed and arranged for two women to live like safety guards.
In February 2025, two men – Jagadish alias Jagga and Kiran – crossed the land. They fired two women who lived there. Later, Jagadish called Shivaparakash and threatened to “not let him be alive” if he did not bring GPA to his name because it was “his area”, Mrs. Vijayalakshmi said.
“My son complained that he had faced threats for his life from Jagadish, Kiran, Anil, Vimal and Kr Puram Mla Byrathi Basavaraj. In this respect he submitted several petitions to the police,” she said in her complaint.
She suspects that her son was murdered by these four people at Mr. Basavaraj’s initiative.
He responded to the development and Mr. Basavaj denied any involvement in the case and questioned police events.
In an interview with the media in Vishana, Mr. Basavaraj asked: “Sugared the police from me before registering a company? I have absolutely no connection with the murder.
He also claimed political motifs after movement. “That could be part of a political conspiracy. I will fight legally. I had no information about the deceased. The police registered the case without noticing my statement. There is a clear plot behind it,” he said. Mr. Basavaraj claimed to work legally and fight the accusation in court.
