The right-wing leader, identified as Maharaj Pundaleeka, took money from the girl's family to murder the victim, police officials said.
Nearly 10 days after the beheaded body of a 24-year-old man was found on a railway track in Karnataka's Belagavi district, the police today claimed that the victim was murdered over an inter-faith relationship.
At least 10 people, including a right-wing leader, have been arrested for their involvement in the crime, the police said. The right-wing leader, identified as Maharaj Pundaleeka, took money from the girl's family to murder the victim, police officials said.
The body was thrown on tracks to mislead the police, they said.
"Maharaj Pundaleeka is a prominent leader of the Sriram Sena Hindustan," senior cop Laxman Nimbargi told NDTV.
