As a result, Hiriadka police station inspector and two policemen were arrested in the case on charges of dereliction of duties.

On Thursday, a parade for identifying the accused was held in Karwar jail and witnesses positively identified all the accused in the case there. Hence, the bail appeals by 2^nd, 4^th, 6^th, 7^th, 14^th and 15^th accused were rejected and will continue their stay in the jail.

However, the High Court approved bail for 9^th and 10^th accused policemen on Thursday.
