A known history-sheeter from Bengaluru, identified as Manjesh, was murdered in Hassan district on Tuesday. The incident has sent shockwaves through the local community, as Manjesh had a long criminal record and was facing multiple serious charges.
Details of the Murder
According to police sources, Manjesh was attacked by unidentified assailants in a secluded area near Hassan town. He was rushed to a nearby hospital but succumbed to his injuries. The motive behind the murder is yet to be ascertained, and an investigation is underway to identify the culprits.
Manjesh, a resident of Bengaluru, was a notorious figure in the city's underworld. He had seven active cases registered against him at the Talaghattapura police station in Bengaluru, including three murder cases. His criminal activities had made him a high-priority target for law enforcement agencies.
Family's Criminal Background
Interestingly, not only Manjesh but also some of his family members have criminal records. Police sources revealed that several of his relatives have rowdy sheets against them, indicating a family deeply involved in criminal activities. This has raised concerns about the spread of organized crime in the region.
The Talaghattapura police had been closely monitoring Manjesh's movements due to the severity of his cases. However, despite their surveillance, he managed to travel to Hassan, where the fatal attack occurred.
Police Investigation
The Hassan police have registered a case of murder and are investigating all angles, including possible rivalry with other criminal gangs. They are also examining Manjesh's recent activities and associates to gather leads. The Bengaluru police have been informed and are cooperating in the investigation.
This incident highlights the ongoing issue of gang violence in Karnataka, with history-sheeters often becoming targets of vendetta killings. Authorities are under pressure to curb such incidents and ensure public safety.
