So far 10 people have been detained by the police. Karnataka Police have begun search ops in Kerala too. DGP Sood is already in contact with the Kerala Government and would conduct a joint operation”.

“Currently we have no plans of transferring the case to the National Investigation Agency (NIA). If required and if the police find it appropriate, we will transfer it to NIA. We will leave no stone unturned in nabbing the culprits”, he added.
