A 30-year-old man was allegedly murdered by his friends on Sunday morning.
The deceased has been identified as Suneel Kumar, a resident of Kengunte. He was working as a warden in Kempegowda Institute of Medical Science (KIMS) for the past one year.
Preliminary investigations revealed that Suneel went out with his friends to a bar. They were heading home at 2am when they were attacked by some men. According to police, Suneel’s friend Manjunath alias Golla Manja is the prime suspect in the case. Manju reportedly asked Rs10,000 from Suneel. The latter refused to give him money.
This led to a heated argument between the two. One of Manjunath’s aides reportedly hit Suneel’s two other friends Megharaj and Murthy with a wooden stick. This led to a gang fight, resulting in Manjunath smashing Suneel’s head using a rock.
Suneel died instantly and Manjunath and his aides fled the spot.
Megharaj and Murthy were severely injured and the duo was rushed to a private hospital for treatment.
Suneel’s father Bileraju said that his son left the house at 5.30pm on Saturday to meet his friends. But he did not return home.
Bileraju tried to call him, but Suneel’s cell was switched off. He came to know about his son’s murder only after the news channels broke the story on Sunday morning.
Gambling proves costly for him
A 45-year-old construction labourer died under mysterious circumstances in Lingarajapuram on Sunday. The deceased, Venkatesh, was a resident of Nagayyanapalya. Investigations revealed that Venkatesh was gambling with his friends. An already drunk Venkatesh became excited and began dancing when he won a bet of `50. When his friends asked him to behave, he started arguing with them. He then fell unconscious. His friends took him to a hospital and later to Victoria Hospital, where he was declared brought dead. Venkatesh’s relatives, however, allege that it is a murder. His body has been kept in Bowring Hospital for postmortem, which will be conducted on Monday. The police have filed a case of unnatural death.
