Cops nab Rekha Kadiresh’s suspected killers who were holed up in Summanahalli of West Bengaluru
BENGALURU:
Two prime suspects in the broad daylight murder on Thursday of former BJP corporator Rekha Kadiresh were shot in the leg while trying to evade arrest by the police on Friday afternoon. The police had swung into action in the case following Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa’s ‘assurance’ that those accused of the murder would be arrested within 24 hours.
According to sources, the duo, Peter and Surya, were hiding near the Shani Mahatma temple in Summanahalli near Kamakshipalya in West Bengaluru. The West Division police had detained four persons in the case, and their interrogation revealed the hideout of the duo.

Rekha Kadiresh was brutally murdered on Thursday morning outside her office near the Flower Garden at Chalavadipalya. Three special teams were formed to nab the accused.
The team led by the Cotton Pete and Upparapet Inspectors had gone to arrest Peter and Surya near Summanahalli when the duo tried to attack a PSI and a constable. Thereupon, Inspectors Shivanand and Chidanand opened fire at both, hitting them in the left leg.
Hardened criminals
Of the accused duo, Surya is involved in four criminal cases, including two murder cases and two attempted murder cases. Peter is accused in five cases, including three murder cases, one assault case, and two attempted dacoity cases.
