A 50-year-old realtor escaped a certain death after a tempo driver tipped him off his son’s plan to murder him with the help of contract killers.
The OMBR Layout-based realtor, Shankarappa, informed the police of the murder threat on Monday. The police swung into action and arrested his son Ashok and seven contract killers, including three women.
Besides Ashok, contract killers Manjula, Jayanthi, Kanthamma, Ramesh, Ramu and two others were arrested. Police said they were suspecting that the gang leader, Hemanth, was hiding somewhere in the state’s coastal region.
Shankarappa was married to two women, Dhanalakshmi and Yashoda. Ashok was from his first wife, Dhanalakshmi.
“Ashok had been nurturing a grudge against his father and wanted to kill him. He had been planning the murder for the last two months. He then met Hemanth and his associates including the three women. He expressed his desire to get rid of his father so that he could inherit Shankarappa’s property,” assistant commissioner of police (KR Puram) N Narasimhaiah said.
To raise funds for the murder, Ashok had pledged a property belonging to his brother Navin Kumar in Indiranagar for Rs13 lakh. Police said Ashok paid Rs6 lakh to Hemanth, as advance.
Everything went according to Ashok’s plan until one of the gangsters revealed the conspiracy to Sunil, a tempo driver, during a casual conversation. The driver, who knew the realtor, informed him of the plan. Shankarappa immediately approached the police.
Police said they arrested Ashok, who led the investigators to the gang.
Ashok had reportedly confessed that his mother and siblings were ill-treated by his father. The accused told the police that Shankarappa had been insulting him, his brother and sister for not living up to his expectations. They were also forced to do menial jobs.
Shankarappa reportedly have several properties in the city and he never gave his first wife and children the money they demanded, police said.
