Karkala: The third accused in the Karkala rape case, identified as Abhay from Tellaru, has been revealed to be a BJP worker and a follower of MLA Sunil Kumar. Abhay is also reportedly associated with the Bajrang Dal.
Sources indicate that Abhay had been working at a spa in Bengaluru after his vehicle, a tipper purchased with a partner from Kapu, was confiscated by a finance company due to unpaid loan installments.
Abhay and another accused, Altaf, were frequently seen together near Karkala, where their friendship reportedly grew.
