As per latest reports coming in 32-year-old Rakesh Katwe’s murder case, Kannada actress Shanaya Katwe who is accused of killing her brother and chopping off his body has been arrested by Hubballi Rural police.

The decapitated head of the deceased was found in Devaragudihal forest area and the remaining parts of his mutilated body were dumped across Gadag Road and other different parts of Hubballi, according to reports.

During the investigation, it came to light that Rakesh’s murder had a connection with his own sister, Shanaya who was allegedly in love with the accused Niyazahemed Katigar. Rakesh had opposed their love affair which prompted Niyazahemed to plot his murder.

The reports also suggest that the gruesome incident took place at Shanaya and victim Rakesh’s house in Hubballi when the actress had visited the city to promote her film. Rakesh is said to have been strangled to death.

Katigar and his friends reportedly chopped the body, and dumped the pieces across various places in and around the city.
