A Bengaluru court Monday approved the police request to shift the four suspects.

Kartik alias Kappe, R Keshavamurthy, and Nikhil Nayak should be shifted from Bengaluru to Tumakuru.
Other than Ravishankar, the three others had surrendered before police, claiming they had killed Renukaswamy and disposed of the body near the drain. Ravishankar had played a vital role in kidnapping Renukaswamy from Chitradurga and later dumping the body near Summanahalli drain in Bengaluru.
