Neha's father Niranjan Hiremath, a Congress corporator, mother Geetha Hiremath and family members met HM Amit Shah after his public rally in Hubballi, and submitted a memorandum in connection with the murder.
Union Minister Pralhad Joshi was also present during the meeting.
The incident of the murder of Neha Hiremath was reported on April 18 in the premises of a private college in Hubballi.
