BENGALURU: A 22-year-old youth was fatally stabbed by three men in HAL police station limits on Saturday night. The deceased, identified as Sai Charan (22), a resident of Kaggadasapura and employed as an office boy at a private firm in Koramangala.
He had to pay with his life for allegedly trying to foil a chain snatching attempt by the accused near his house.
Charan sustained grievous injuries in the attack and was rushed to the Bowring hospital, where he died while undergoing treatment.
The police have detained three men who they suspect were involved in the murder. HAL police station inspector Sadiq Pasha, who is investigating the case, told Deccan Chronicle that both the deceased and the suspects were heavily drunk and one of them was Charan’s friend.
He said that there were three stab injuries on Charan’s back. “This doesn’t seem like a murder while thwarting a chain snatching bid, as it occurred around 11 pm and all the four were drunk. However, we are investigating,” he said.
