Bangalore, Jan 10: The City police have cracked the murder case of real estate agent Shankar, 38, who was hacked to death in his office, Sinchana Enterprises near Vidyapeeta Circle, by a gang of three on December 29.

The police have arrested the victim’s wife Bhagyalakshmi, her lover Cheluvaraju and four others for the murder.

A gang of three masked men had hacked Shankar to death. One of the boys, working in Shankar’s office, was the sole eye witness.

He had told police that three men had argued with Shankar, claiming that he had crossed his limits, before hacking him to death.

Three special teams had been formed to investigate the case.

The six arrested are: Cheluvaraju, 26, Chandrashekhara, 23, Raju, 19, Mohan Kumar, 23, Pradeep Kumar, 26 and Bhagyalakshmi, 27.

The mobile phone call records of Bhagyalakshmi and her behaviour gave the game away. Her call log showed she was in touch with Cheluvaraju for many months before the murder and after.

Bhagyalakshmi, it is learnt, had an affair with Cheluvaraju, who was running a newspaper agency on DVG Road. Cheluvaraju and Bhagyalakshmi, classmates in high school, rekindled their friendship, when they met at Gandhi Bazar three years ago.

Police investigations revealed that Shankar, on learning of the affair, had quarrelled with his wife and her friend and had warned Cheluvaraju to stay away.

Investigations also revealed that Bhagyalakshmi instigated Cheluvaraju to kill Shankar. Cheluvaraju and his two associates, Chandrashekar and Raju, were arrested from Nagamangala and Mohan Kumar and Pradeep Kumar from Nagarabavi based on the information given by Bhagyalakshmi.

According to police, Cheluvaraju formed a team of his associates to execute the killing.

Cheluvaraju’s friends Chandrashekara and Pradeep Kumar, his paper delivery boy Raju and Mohan Kumar, his relative, joined him.

Of the five, Cheluvaraju, Chandrashekara and Raju barged into Shankar’s office and hacked him to death. The three had then gone to Goa and Mumbai. The police arrested them when they returned.

Amaravati, Jul 31: Nine people have died after allegedly consuming sanitiser in Prakasam district of Andhra Pradesh today, the police said.

Prakasam district Superintendent of Police Siddharth Kaushal said the people had been consuming sanitiser for the past few days, mixing it with water and soft drinks.

"We are also investigating whether they laced the sanitiser with any other toxic substances," the official said.

"Their family members say these people have been consuming sanitiser for the past ten days. We are sending the sanitiser stocks, being sold in the area, for examination," he added.

Kurichedu in Prakasam district has been under lockdown due to rise in coronavirus cases and hence, liquor shops have also been shut since the past few days.

Habitual drinkers were said to be consuming sanitisers that have alcohol content, apart from illicitly distilled arrack.

The police said two beggars near a temple were the first to fall victim on Thursday night. While one of them was found dead at the spot, another died in the government hospital in Darsi town, they said.

A third person was also taken to the Darsi hospital late on Thursday night after he fell unconscious but he was declared brought dead. Six others who fell ill after allegedly consuming sanitiser, died this morning.

Others who fell ill after consuming sanitiser are undergoing treatment at their residences in the village, the police added.
