Hanumanth Chandrasha Kudalgi (40), younger brother of a former Kalaburagi Zilla Panchayat member Shantappa Kudalgi, was shot at and killed here on Tuesday evening.
As Hanumanth Kudalgi was travelling to Jewargi from Kalaburagi, a group of men stopped his car near Ballundagi village and shot at him from close range.
Hanumanth Kudalgi was in jail for a few months on the charge of murdering BJP leader Shivaling Bhavikatti. He was out on bail. Police sources suspected that rivalry was the reason for his murder.
