BENGALURU
A shocking murder has been reported from Nelamangala, where a rowdy-sheeter was brutally stabbed to death inside a lodge room following a liquor party. What initially appeared to be a casual gathering has now raised serious suspicions of a pre-planned killing.
The incident took place at Balaji Param Haas lodge, located near Nelamangala. The deceased has been identified as Nagaraj alias Auto Naga (32), a known rowdy-sheeter with multiple criminal cases registered against him. He was listed as a rowdy-sheeter in both Laggere and Huliyurdurga police stations.
According to police sources, Nagaraj himself had booked the lodge room earlier in the afternoon. Later, a liquor and non-vegetarian food party was organised inside the room. Initially, three people, including Nagaraj, arrived at the lodge. As the party progressed, three more friends joined, taking the total number of people to six.
During the party, an argument reportedly broke out. Suddenly, Nagaraj was attacked with a dagger and other deadly weapons, and was stabbed repeatedly at multiple places. He died on the spot due to excessive bleeding.
After committing the murder, all the accused fled from the lodge, leaving the body behind. The lodge staff later alerted the police, following which officers from Madanayakanahalli police station rushed to the spot and conducted an inspection.
The deceased, a native of Kamalapura in Huliyurdurga, was residing in Gangondanahalli. Police said he was involved in small-scale real estate activities apart from his criminal background.
Based on preliminary findings, police suspect the liquor party may have been arranged as part of a murder plan. A murder case has been officially registered at Madanayakanahalli Police Station, and efforts are on to track down the absconding accused. Further investigation is underway.
