India, Nov. 1 -- The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a chargesheet against 11 men accused of planning and executing the murder of former Bajrang Dal member Suhas Shetty in Karnataka, an attack that investigators say was designed to spread fear and terror in the community.

The chargesheet, submitted before the NIA Special Court in Bengaluru, outlines how Shetty was allegedly followed, cornered, and killed by a group of armed assailants in a coordinated ambush on May 1. According to the agency, seven men trailed Shetty's Innova in two vehicles, rammed into it, and blocked his escape route before attacking him with swords and machetes.

"Shetty was forced to flee on foot and was hacked to death by the assailants," the NIA said...
