In a harrowing discovery that has sent shockwaves through the community, the lifeless body of 28-year-old Shakeel Akhtar Saifi was found at the Sampigehalli police station after he had been missing for five agonizing days. Shakeel, a longtime resident of 3rd Cross Road, Kogilu Layout, had made Bengaluru his home for the past decade, having moved from Bihar.

Upon careful examination, the bag revealed the lifeless body of the missing carpenter, Shakeel Saifi.
The nightmarish ordeal began when Shakeel went missing on a fateful Tuesday night.
