'Suhas' past made me stay away from parents'

- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @ BENGALURU

KARNATAKA HOME Minister Dr G Parameshwara here on Sunday clarified that he did not visit the parents of Suhas Shetty, who was murdered at Bajpe in Mangaluru recently, as several heinous cases had been filed against the latter.

"There are five cases against Suhas. That is why none of the elected representatives visited his house. But we are on the job of delivering justice to his family members as eight accused have already been arrested," he told reporters, replying to the criticism that he did not console Suhas' parents during his visit to Mangaluru recently.

He categorically denied Congress instructing its leaders not to visit Suhas' family as a video on it has gone viral.
