Bengaluru, Sept 16: The police were struggling to solve the strange case of a man whose decapitated body was discovered at Anekal early this week. With no leads, they turned to Jimmy, a member of the Police Dog squad, for help. And the seven-year-old Doberman stepped up to the plate.

Putting his nose to good use, he sniffed out the perpetrators and led the police straight to the front door of their house, around 4 km from where the body had been dumped.

“The killers had not just decapitated the head to conceal the identity of the victim, but had also castrated him. They carried the body parts to a desolate location near their house, got rid of the evidence and returned home,” said the police. It was this trail that Jimmy followed relentlessly, and led the police to three men -- Gandhi Jeroy, Madhu Jeroy and Kashiram who hail from Odisha. They later confessed to the murder, based on which the police identified the victim as Biranchi.

“The four men were friends and worked as labourers. Biranchi was allegedly having an affair with Gandhi and Madhu’s sister. When the accused got to know of this, they decided to kill him,” said the police.

The brothers, along with their friend Kashiram, invited Biranchi to a party and murdered him.

Bengaluru, April 2: At least three people have been arrested by police in connection with the attack on ASHA worker Krishnaveni in Bengaluru's Byatarayanapura area.

Earlier in the day, Bengaluru Police Commissioner Bhaskar Rao said that an investigation was initiated into the incident in which ASHA workers were attacked.

"I have appointed Pulikeshi Nagar ACP, Tabarak Fathima, to investigate the matter. A case will be registered and action will be taken. ASHA workers will be protected by the police to carry out their functions," Rao told ANI here.

Earlier, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister CN Ashwath Narayan visited one of the ASHA workers who was allegedly attacked by unidentified miscreants and termed the incident as "completely demoralising" for the workers.

ASHA workers, who were deployed to spread awareness about coronavirus and identify suspected cases, were allegedly attacked by a group of locals in Byatarayanapura here on Wednesday.

The workers said that the locals did not allow them to work and around 100 people gathered at the spot and harassed them.

This comes as the country is under a 21-day lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

Bengaluru, Apr 24: The Karnataka Health Department is likely to shift the 119 accused in Padarayanapura violence to Bengaluru's Haj Bhavan from Ramnagar Jail.

This comes after two accused out of 121, who were shifted to Ramnagar jail, tested positive for coronavirus. They have been shifted to Victoria Hospital.

A ruckus erupted in Padarayanapura on Sunday allegedly over the shifting of 15 secondary contacts of corona positive patients to a quarantine facility by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) officials.

Padarayanapura is recognised as a 'red zone'. When BBMP officials went to shift the suspected COVID-19 patients, some people created a ruckus, broke a barricade and removed the police post in the area.
