Six awardees of Kannada Sahitya Parishat's 'BMTC Aralu Sahitya' award are returning awards on October 3 at Kannada Sahitya Parishat in Bengaluru to condemn the delay in arrest of research scholar Dr MM Kalburgi's assasins.
Karnataka Police, probing the murder case of Kannada scholar MM Kalburgi, had earlier questioned Sanatan Sanstha activist Samir Gaikwad arrested in connection with the murder of Communist leader and rationalist Govind Pansare in Kolhapur.
However the police has not been able to find a major breakthrough in the Kalburgi murder case.
Kalburgi, who often courted controversies with his outspoken stand on various issues including idol worship, was shot dead at point-blank range by two unidentified men at his residence in Dharwad on August 30.
