Mangaluru: The Ullal block Congress on Monday filed a complaint against MP Nalin Kumar Kateel after he made a statement that Dakshina Kannada district would burn if the accused in a murder case were not arrested within ten days.

Several Congress workers arrived at the Konaje police station.

MP Kateel demanded that the accused in Karthik Raj’s murder be arrested within ten days. Karthik was attacked by unidentified people on October 22, 2016 and he succumbed a day later.

A Congress leader said that it was MP Kateel’s duty to protect the people; instead by issuing such a statement, he had created a panic in the minds of citizens of Dakshina Kannada.
