    Same old 4 rowdies have been arrested. they will either pay them Rs.100 each or won't do anything to them for some crime. I had mentioned in my earlier msg same thing.
    This is to prolong the investigation - which they donot want to do - because they know the actual culprits. They know public will forget abt this case if it is prolonged. Nothing is going to happen in this investigation. I hope Mahantesh's ghost will come to haunt all the guys that are involved including the police and each of them will commit suicide!!!
