Advocate for the petitioner, B Lathif, arguing the case, said that statements of witnesses were recorded in this case ten days after Madiwala was killed. He also claimed that investigating officials in the case had failed to put together concrete evidence against the accused. The bench, which recorded these statements, ordered release of the accused on bail.

Sharath was about to close his laundry shop at B C Road here on the night of July 4, 2017, when some motor bike-borne miscreants had suddenly attacked him with sharp weapons and fled.

Sharath, who had suffered serious injuries in this attack, had died later in hospital, without responding to treatments. This murder had vitiated atmosphere in Dakshina Kannada district, which had already become volatile due to certain incidents, further.
