But due to their disturbing character, they were shifted to Belgaum jail, later to Dharwad jail and latest to Gulbarga jail. Bhattanakere Shankar contacted his sources and gave supari to kill Bhattanakere Srinivas who was in Gulbarga. The person who received supari from Shankar contacted his sources of Lingsugur and asked him to see whether any police officials can help them in carrying supari killing.

The Bangalore supari killers, their contact of Lingsugur came to Shahapur for discussion. Shahapur CPI made arrangement of three rooms in Veena delux lodge of Shahapur for these persons, according to investigations. On January 3 a revolver fell from the top of the jail in varandah and Battanakere Shanakar took it and while he was examining, some of the inmates of the jail informed the matter to police that a weapon was found in the jail and it is with an undertrial. The police rushed to the central jail and traced the revolver and a SIM card. From SIM card, the police got some clues and they arrested Lingsugur contact. From him the police unearthed the conspiracy. With the arrest of Rajkumar Vajantri, the number of arrests in this case has gone up to nine.
