B'luru: After beating man to death, gang brings body to police station

Bengaluru: In a shocking incident, four persons beat a 24-year-old man to death and brought his body to a police station to surrender before the police early on Sunday.

The police sources said the victim, Bhaskar (24), was killed for trying to elope with the married sister of the main accused, auto-driver Muniraju (28). The other accused who surrendered were Maruthi (22), Nagesh (22), and Prashanth (20).

Police said Muniraju’s sister, a mother of two, was living with her family in Malur. Bhaskar had developed a relationship with her and it led to clashes between the married couple.

She left her husband 15 days back and came to stay in a rented house in Chandrashekar Layout near Nagarabhavi. Bhaskar met her, convinced her that he would get a rented house for her and would take care of her and her two children, police said.

But, her elder son refused to go with them and informed Muniraju about it.

Muniraju caught Bhaskar along with his sister and her child near Nagarbhavi circle and took them to a house with the help of his three friends, IANS reported.

The gang left Muniraju’s sister at her rented house and later took Bhaskar to Kebbehalla area in Sunkadakatte, where they beat him with blunt objects, the report said.

“The main suspect also punched Bhaskar on the side of the head near the temple area and he fell unconscious. The gang suspected he might have been acting to escape from their punches and blows but later they learnt that he was dead. The main suspect informed his mother and came with body to the station to surrender,” Deputy Commissioner of Police, West, Sanjeev M. Patil, was quoted as saying by IANS.

Annapoorneshwarinagar police have filed a case of murder against the gang and arrested them.
