The accused is B Naveen of RR Layout in Nagadevanahalli. Police records show that Naveen was arrested in a murder case reported in Jnanabharati during 2024, and the matter is in court now.The attack took place when Nanjundappa was walking near Naveen’s house around 5.30 pm. Naveen, who was driving his hatchback, grew irritated on seeing Nanjundappa walking near his parking lot outside the house. However, Nanjundappa was unaware that Naveen was coming to park the car there.CCTV footage obtained from nearby houses during the police investigation shows how impatiently Naveen honked at Nanjundappa. Reacting to the continuous honking, Nanjundappa beckoned Naveen to move freely, as the entire road was empty. Nanjundappa also asked, “Why are you honking when I am on the extreme left lane and not blocking your car?”Thus, losing his temper over Nanjundappa’s words, Naveen stormed out of the car, abused Nanjundappa loudly, and mercilessly attacked him. Naveen’s family members, including 2 women, came out on hearing Nanjundappa’s screams for help. They tried to stop Naveen from further attack, but in vain. At one stage, Naveen pushed Nanjundappa down and attacked him by sitting on his chest. By then, neighbours, passers-by, and other commuters gathered, pulled Naveen aside, and his family pushed him inside the house.After getting treated at a local hospital for his bruising injuries, Nanjundappa filed a complaint with Kengeri police, who immediately arrested Naveen and produced him before the court on Monday. He was handed over to the judicial custody of Bengaluru Central Prison.EOM MSID:: 128752336 413 |
