Gang of six held for killing of Bengaluru medical shop owner
The deceased was allegedly intercepted by an armed gang in Madiwala traffic signal and hacked to death in full public view on August 22 night.
The Madiwala police have apprehended six individuals in relation to the murder of medical shop owner Suhail. The accused are identified as Adil, Yasin, Abbas, Afivuallah, Shaan, and Syed Farhan. Suhail was allegedly intercepted and brutally murdered in broad daylight on August 22 in Madiwala traffic signal. The police believe the murder was an act of revenge for the killing of Adil's friend Shabbir, who was killed in January in Bandepalya police station limits.
Police suspect Suhail provided financial aid for Shabbir's murder and his brothers were involved in the killing. Adil allegedly plotted the murder seeking retaliation for the earlier incident. Suhail reportedly threatened his friends to assault Adil before he could take revenge. After the murder, the accused planned to escape to Mumbai.
However, Madiwala police intercepted them and made arrests before they could flee. The arrested suspects are being interrogated to determine their individual involvement in the murder and the events leading to it.
