Highly-placed sources in the police department told TNIE that the IO will visit Bidar and Kalaburagi districts to start the investigation.

Sources said that the police have not arrested the main accused Raju Kapnoor and his eight supporters as the CID was likely to take over the case as recommended by Kalaburagi district in-charge minister Priyank Kharge and others to the government.

It may be recalled here that contractor Sachin Panchal, who died by suicide at Katti Tugaon village of Bhalki taluk by jumping on the railway track on Thursday (December 26), has alleged in his death note that former corporator of Kalaburagi, Raju Kapnoor and eight others are responsible for his death.
