Rowdy hacked to death in Chandra Layout
Deceased has been identified as Prakash alias Volanga.
Bengaluru: A 29-year-old notorious rowdy-sheeter was allegedly abducted, murdered and later the body was dumped before a hotel in Chandra Layout by a gang of four miscreants on Tuesday midnight.
The incident is said to have taken place near Chandra Bhavan hotel and the deceased has been identified as Prakash alias Volanga. He was a resident of Kanaknagar Slums and had recently come out on bail. Prakash, an A listed history sheeter, had over 20 cases registered against him in Vijayanagar police station, including murders and attempt to murder cases.
According to the police, Prakash’s body was found by the local residents on Wednesday early morning near the hotel. It is believed that the assailants had carried out the murder somewhere else and brought the body in a vehicle and dumped it here.
On being informed the police rushed to the spot and shifted the body to a nearby hospital. “The victim bore stab injury marks on chest and abdomen. Police suspect an old rivalry behind the murder. Prima facie it appears that the victim was kidnapped, taken to an isolated place, hacked to death and later was brought in a car and abandoned near hotel. Two teams have been formed in this regard to nab the assailants,” said a senior police official. Prakash was involved in many cases but was said inactive for over four years. Chandra Layout police have registered a case and begun investigation.
