‎Puttur‎‎:‎‎ A man, who was a main accused in the Hindu activist’s murder case, was brutally murdered near Perlampady here on Saturday.

The deceased has been identified as Charan Raj Rai (28), a resident of Aryapu. He was the main accused in the murder of Hindu Jagarana Vedike activist Karthik Merla three years ago.
