A day after ex-BJP corporator Rekha Kadiresh's shocking murder and shootout by police to nab two accused on Friday, three more people were arrested on Saturday morning.

An investigation by West Division Police into ex-BJP corporator Rekha Kadiresh from Chalavadi Palya ward resulted in the arrest of three more persons today and the total arrest has reached 5 so far in the case.

Yesterday, the police had to shoot the victim's former bodyguard Peter and his associate 20-year-old Surya who attempted to flee at Electronic City.

Further investigation led to the arrest of three more persons -- Arun, Purushotham and Ajay. The interesting thing to note in this case is Arun is the nephew of Rekha's husband Kadiresh, a rowdy sheeter who was also killed two years ago.
