Bengaluru: Chikkajala police have cracked a two-month-old contract killing case, in which a woman was murdered, and arrested seven people, including the daughter of the deceased.
Two months ago, the prime accused Subramani alias Subbu approached Shantamma, the victim and his relative, and asked her to marry off her daughter Soubhagya to him. He was reportedly in love with her.
Subramani also had an eye on Shantamma’s property and thought that marrying Soubhagya would help him inherit it. But Shantamma refued as Subramani was already married.
An angry Subramani along with his relative Shashi tried to kill Shantamma twice, but failed. Later Subramani and Soubhagya hired a contract killer to finish her off.
The police have arrested Subramani, Soubhagya and five accused, Shashi, K.C. Chandru, Naveen Yadav, Manju Reddy and Chetan Kumar.
