On questioning the four suspects they confessed to have comitted the murder of Hitendra Prasad.

It is now clear that these four accused belong to the gang of one rowdy sheeter of Udupi by name Pitti Nagesha, and were actually employed by the later to execute the murder. On 21st of Aug, two futile attempts were made during the day while Hithendra Prasad was covering the Visit of KPCC President Sri Mallikarjuna Kharge to Udupi. But because of the police presence the attempts failed. At about 9.30 PM the same evening, Pitti Nagesh received an information that Hithendra Prasad was at Thaloor's bar, and immediately Nagesh dispatched his team to execute the murder. After having watched the movements of Hithendra, the assailants waited for the right moment and when he was found alone., Salim and Dinesh , two of the four accused struck Hithendra with sharp weapons on his head. The victim immediately collapsed. It is further disclosed in the confession that soon after the act, a few persons who had gathered at the gate of the Bar in an arguement also rushed to the spot and were witnesses to the incident. Soon after, the four of them fled from the scene and after having thrown the weapons used, in a gutter in Indiranagar, they left Udupi.

The police team investigating the case were after the gang of Pitti Nagesh the same night the incident took place as Nagesh was an old rival of Hithendra and surprisingly enough all the gang members were absconding from the town. As the clues got stronger by the day, the team received an information this morning that four of the gang members were trying to escape to Mumbai, when they were apprehended at the Railway station. The main conspirer Pitti Nagesh is still absconding and the team is at the task. More information is likely to be disclosed after his arrest.
