Deceased – Nandan
Bengaluru: What began as a celebration to mark a gym’s first anniversary ended in tragedy, with a 25-year-old trainer allegedly assaulted to death following a quarrel among a group of trainers at a flat in Kempapura. Between 3.30am and 4am on Oct 4, a quarrel broke out among them, which soon turned violent.
Deputy commissioner of police (north-east) GK Mithun Kumar said, “Vishwanth was Anush’s trainer. A senior police officer said awards were presented to trainers and customers during the gym’s anniversary celebrations, following which a party was held at the gym. The group allegedly assaulted each other, during which the bathroom mirror and handwash basin were damaged, the officer said.
Police have arrested three accused in connection with the death. Manjula alleged that Vishwanath, Sharath, Nishanth and Anush were involved in a quarrel and assault that led to her son’s death. Vishwanath and Sharath were also injured during the altercation. At Anush’s house, deceased Nandan was assaulted, resulting in his death. The murder appears to be over personal reasons. Three accused people have been arrested. They are being interrogated in detail to ascertain the exact reason for the assault. Anush then went to sleep in his room, while Nandan and the three arrested accused remained in the hall and continued partying. Nandan sustained multiple injuries to his body. Doctors who conducted the postmortem examination informed police that he had sustained several injuries and that his death appeared to have been caused by strangulation. Police suspect that the three arrested accused may have consumed drugs during the party. Their samples have been collected for medical examination, and police are awaiting the reports.
A murder case under Section 103 of the BNS was registered at Amruthahally police station, and an investigation is going on under the supervision of assistant commissioner of police (Sampigehalli sub-division) Chandan Kumar.
