Over a period of time,they grew closer,and his sister was in a relationship with Bhaskar despite being married and having two children living in Malur town.

Around 15 days ago,his sister’s husband came to know of his wife’s illicit relationship with Bhaskar and started quarrelling with her.

Unable to deal with his frequent fights,Kavitha took her two children and came to her mother’s house around two weeks ago to stay with her in Chandrashekar Layout in Annapoorneshwari Nagara police station limits.

On Saturday evening,Bhaskar came to Kavitha’s  house and convinced her to come with him along with her two children so that he would find a house for her near her workplace and he would take care of her.

When Kavitha and her children got into the auto-rickshaw that Bhaskar had brought along, Kavitha’s son refused to come with them and informed his mother’s decision to his uncle (Kavitha’s brother Muniraju).

Enraged Muniraju took his auto-rickshaw and called his associates Maruthi,Nagesh, and Prashanth and rushed to his house when Bhaskar had just left with Kavitha and her kids.

Muniraju then followed the auto-rickshaw and waylaid them before they could go too far.
Muniraju then brought back his sister Kavitha and her kids,and dropped them home,after which he and his associates took Bhaskar in the auto-rickshaw and drove towards an isolated area in Kebbehalla near Sunkadkatte.

Muniraju and his three friends beat up Bhaskar to pulp after abusing him for having an illicit relationship with Kavitha.

After assaulting him, Muniraju bought food for Bhaskar and asked him to have it.They then took Bhaskar in the same auto-rickshaw and were returning back to the city when they again assaulted Bhaskar inside the auto-rickshaw.

Muniraju and his friends hit him on his temple area and forehead when Bhaskar collapsed inside the auto and succumbed.

Presuming that he was acting unconscious, the assailants did not care for him, but kept heckling him and ignoring him thinking that he would wake up later, but hours passed by, Bhaskar still laid motionless,” said a senior police officer.

It was when the body was getting cold and stiff, Muniraju learnt that Bhaskar had expired and the four started panicking.

Muniraju then called up his mother and informed her that while they were beating up Bhaskar, he succumbed.

The four men then drove the auto-rickshaw with Bhaskar’s body to the Annapoorneshwari Nagara police station late on Saturday night.

They parked the auto-rickshaw at a distance from the police station and tried to wake up Bhaskar once again, but when he did not, Muniraju walked to the police station and narrated what all had happened since the evening on Saturday.

The cops rushed to the auto-rickshaw and shifted the victim to a hospital where he was declared dead.

The police have produced the accused before the magistrate and taken them into custody for further investigation is on he added.
