Dakshina Kannada, April 6 : Family of slain party worker Pravin Kumar Nettaru will soon move into new house built by the BJP in Bellare town near Mangaluru, just months before his death anniversary.

Nettaru was killed on July 26, 2022.The probe revealed that the assailants targeted Praveen to avenge the death of a minority community youth, who was killed in a road rage case.
