BCom student’s murder: Four, including three juveniles, held over fatal clash
According to preliminary investigation, the incident stemmed from a dispute involving a female student; prime accused is absconding
Four individuals, including three juveniles, have been apprehended in connection with the fatal clash that resulted in the murder of a 19-year-old BCom student, Yogesh, in Nagarabhavi on September 30. The confrontation reportedly stemmed from a dispute involving a senior female student. Preliminary investigations suggest that the incident arose from an argument over the girl.
The prime suspect, identified as Bhuvan, is currently on the run, prompting the police to intensify their search efforts. Yogesh and Bhuvan were first-year BCom students at a private college on Muddayanapalya Road in Nagarabhavi. Bhuvan reportedly had romantic feelings for the girl, but she had initially rejected his advances. The police believe that Yogesh may have spoken disparagingly about the girl, which angered Bhuvan and precipitated the altercation.
On September 30 at 2 p.m., Bhuvan reportedly contacted Yogesh, requesting him to meet him near a gym on the road behind the college. Upon arriving at the specified location, Yogesh and Bhuvan allegedly engaged in a heated argument. The situation rapidly escalated, leading to Yogesh being stabbed in the chest before fleeing the scene.
Locals swiftly rushed the injured student to a nearby private hospital, but tragically, he succumbed to his injuries on the way. A case has been filed at the Annapurneshwari Nagar Police Station. The investigation has led to the arrest of four individuals, comprising three juveniles. Authorities are actively pursuing Bhuvan to ensure that all suspects are apprehended.
As of now, two of the accused have been remanded to a state home for boys, while the third accused in custody for further investigation.
