Neha’s father urged Union HM Amit Shah to ensure that capital punishment is given to the culprits.

From ex-CM Shettar to party president Vijayendra to MLAs and leaders staged protest accusing the Congress government's 'appeasement politics' for the incident.

The murder of Karnataka college student Neha Hiremath by her former classmate Fayaz has triggered a political row. The BJP has termed it a case of 'Love Jihad.' The Congress party has denied all such allegations.

Neha and Fayaz were in 'love'. They wanted to marry each other, says the boy's mother.
