Ravi had earlier stated that it was clear at the outset that Harsha's murder did not take place for personal reasons."I don't think it is a personal decision by someone out of enmity. There is a possibility of a well-organised racket behind it. The aspects of who provided finance, who conspired, who provoked, who supported them at courts have to be investigated. The aim of handing over the case to NIA is to stop murders of Hindu activists. Let the probe begin and we will find out whether the culprits are in the state or in another state," he explained.Harsha was murdered on February 20 in Shivamogga at the height of the hijab controversy.
