Bengaluru, Jun 22: An unidentified man bludgeoned a 69-year-old man to death and injured a 12-year-old boy when they resisted his bid to barge into their houses in Yelahanka New Town, in Bengaluru on Wednesday. The deceased, Ananta Ramaiah, was a retired private company employee.rode

The thief had attempted to enter an independent house in the Vth sector before targeting Ananta's house, police said. Around 2.30am, the miscreant barged into a house after cutting through the window grills of a house.

The thief, who locked the bedroom from outside, was trying to open a cupboard in the hall when 12-year-old Mohammed Anees woke up.

He was sleeping in the drawing room and the thief had failed to notice him. In the nick of time, Anees rushed towards the bedroom and unlocked the door. When the couple raised an alarm, the thief attacked Anees with a blunt object, and fled through the back door.

Alerted by the family, police rushed to the spot. However, the thief was not in a mood to give up. He walked towards IV sector, which was 500 metres from the house of Anees.

He broke open the back door of a house and was about to enter the room when Ananta confronted him. Frustrated, he attacked Ananta with an iron rod and fled, police said.
