Mangaluru, Jan 3: A youth was hacked to death by a gang of miscreants in broad daylight at Katipalla in Mangaluru taluk on Wednesday afternoon.
The victim has been identified as Deepak Rao aka Deepu (32), a resident of Katipalla’s Kaikamba area.
Police said Deepak had worked with private company agency which was owned by a Muslim. Since most of the customers were from minority community, Deepak used frequent areas dominated by them for work. He was fluent in Beary language, spoken by Muslims in Mangaluru.
On fateful day, when he was going to collect some documents from the office at Katipalla, a group of miscreants who arrived in a car, attacked him with lethal weapons.
The attack was so brutal that his fingers were severed and he received serious injuries on his head. He died on the spot due to injuries. The body has been shifted to private hospital in Mangaluru for post-mortem.
As soon as the news began to spread a large number people had gathered at hospital.
Sources, said that few days ago there was clash between two religious communities over tying of buntings for a programme. Deepak, who is member of saffron party and association, was also one among them.
Meanwhile, BJP leaders have condemned the murder and demanded NIA probe.

They are ispired by ISIS , shoot to kill is the only solution for Jihadists... Hindus must be very very careful about Jihadist , they are nowadays doing all chutiya work
Sad and shocking incident. Rest in peace
Our laws are so weak. People dont have scare to kill anybody. Many loop holes are there in law and money minded advocates (few) will protect them
