Bus-burning case transferred to CID

BENGALURU: The state government on Saturday transferred the bus burning case to the Criminal Investigation Department as there were many loose ends and unanswered questions in the incident.
A special team led by CID DySP CA Simon sent a notice to eight persons, including bus company owner KP Nataraj and driver Venkatachalam, who filed a police complaint saying miscreants torched all the parked buses during the violence in Bengaluru on September 12.
City police commissioner NS Megharikh told STOI that 141 cases relating to rioting were registered across the city and 445 persons have been arrested so far.
