Bengaluru, Dec 12: A 28-year-old man, who was reported missing since Friday, was found murdered at Saraswathipuram in Vijayanagar on Sunday. The victim Nanjundaswamy of Kaveripura in Kamakshipalya was working at the e-commerce marketplace Flipkart’s Byatarayanapura branch office as a delivery staff, the police said.
He left his office for home around 2.30 pm on Friday. As he did not go home, his family members filed a missing complaint in the Byatarayanapura police station on Friday night.
“The police collected Nanjundaswamy’s mobile phone call details. The last call had originated from near a bank at Saraswathipuram in Vijayanagar. As we reached the bank, foul smell was emanating from the basement of the building. We found a decomposed body there,” the Bytarayanapura police inspector said.
On being informed, Nanjundaswamy’s wife and family members came there and established his identity. “There were no criminal cases against Nanjundaswamy and he had a good reputation,” the inspector said. The police have decided to question his family members, relatives, friends and colleagues to get leads about the assailants and the motive behind the murder. Nanjundaswamy was a native of Magadi in Ramanagaram district. He is survived by his wife and a one-year-old child.
