BJP corporator’s rowdy-sheeter husband hacked to death by rival gang

Bengaluru, Feb 8: A rowdy-sheeter, who is also the husband of a BJP corporator in Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike, was hacked to death in broad daylight on Wednesday, February 7 in the state capital.

The victim is Kadiresh S (47), husband of BJP corporator Rekha R (Chalavadipalya ward in Chamarajpet). He was killed by a gang of four near Muneshwara Temple in Chalavadipalya. Kadiresh S was facing several cases, said the police.

He was attacked while he was preparing for Shivarathri celebrations at Muneshwara Temple in Anjanappa Garden, ward no. 138 in Chalavadipalya in Chamarajpet Assembly Constituency.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) M N Anucheth said the incident happened around 3.45 pm and an old rivalry is said to be the reason behind the hacking.

"The assailants attacked Kadiresh from behind with machetes and daggers and fled the spot,'' the DCP said. The victim sustained several stab injuries.

A few members of his family, including brother Dileep, brother-in-law Appu and Suresh, rushed Kadiresh to Victoria Hospital where he later succumbed to injuries, said Anucheth.

Kadiresh's brother Dileep said Kadiresh was supervising the cleaning of the temple premises for the coming Shivarathri festival on February 13. "We were working nearby. Suddenly, a few neighbours alerted us about the attack. We rushed to the spot and saw him lying in a pool of blood and shifted him to the hospital."

His body was then shifted to a morgue and the postmortem examination was conducted the same day, the officer said.

Local residents said a group of youths used to frequent Anjanappa Garden to smoke marijuana. Kadiresh had warned and beaten them for smoking near the temple, said local residents. The police are also probing this angle.

The victim's brother Suresh lodged a complaint with the Cottonpet police. He named two of the four attackers as Vinay and Naveen. Both are residents of Chalavadipalya.

The police have formed four teams, one led by an ACP and three teams led by police inspectors, who have launched a manhunt for the suspects.

Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy told reporters, "I knew both the corporator and her husband in person and were in touch with each other regularly. He had never expressed any threat to his life. If he had, we could have given him police protection."

Mysuru, Mar 18: Even though the migration season is coming to end and the winged visitors are set to fly back, the water bodies where most birds nest and breed are under close surveillance with the report about spread of bird flu in Mysuru as unusual death of birds can be a cause for worry and hence the authorities are on high alert.

At Karanji Lake, the birds are watched in detail twice – morning and evening. If any sick bird or dead bird is noticed, the Zoo Vets are alerted. So far, no such birds had been sighted. The surveillance data is maintained every day. Intensive surveillance and passive surveillance is done.

Zoo Authority of Karnataka (ZAK) Member Secretary B P Ravi said the birds are doing well and there is no cause for worry with their health monitored constantly along with tests on the bird droppings done every month at the National Institute of High-Security Animal Diseases in Bhopal.
