“Yes. A case has been registered and transferred to CID,” he said.

Munikullam, a resident of Nadavatti village, was picked up by the police on April 7, his wife Dhanalakshmi told the media on Saturday.

“Policemen took my husband with them. They beat him up and killed him,” she said.

Alleging that Munikulla was a victim of police high- handedness, Hoskote MLA Sharath Bachegowda said he had lodged a complaint with the state DGP, Praveen Sood demanding a CID inquiry into the case.
