The City police are perplexed after hearing the news of Mustaq Sharief's death on Thursday.
Incidentally, hours after Soundar was arrested Mustaq is no more. According Hoskote police, Mustaq died following a heart attack while travelling in his car near Yeshwanthpura in Tirum Shetty Halli police station limits. It is learnt that at around 8:20 am, Mustaq left home along with Giddu Sardar, Ansar, Nazar and Kurabara Babu towards his mango grove near Malur. After travelling a kilometre Mustaq reportedly complained of chest pain and died. All the four accomplices are said to be on the run. His family got a postmortem done.They buried the body at his home town Kattigenahlli. A senior office confessed that with Mustaq’s death the investigation has reached a dead end. Besides, Soundar uttering only Mustaq's name and not revealing anything further, things have become quite complicated. Sources said that excise officials are well aware of Mustaq's connections as he was into the business for more than two decades. Mustaq’s association with bootleggers at Kattigenhalli and Bylanarasapura in Hoskote taluk and his nexus with Adegara Kallahalli in Anekal are an open secret. According to sources in Hoskote, the highly influential illicit liquor lobby backed by politicians may have had a hand in Mustaq’s death.
