In a tragic turn of events, a 60-year-old man lost his life after allegedly confronting a timber yard worker who was reportedly getting too close to his daughter. The incident occurred near Kumaraswamy Layout in Bengaluru, where the victim, Sayyed Aslam, was overseeing operations at his brother’s timber business.

Police reports indicate that Aslam had previously cautioned the suspect to keep his distance from his daughter. The relationship between the two had become a point of concern for the father, prompting him to intervene.

On Wednesday morning, the worker visited the timber shop and a heated exchange followed. The argument quickly escalated, and in a fit of rage, the suspect allegedly attacked Aslam with a fatal blow, leaving him critically injured. Despite efforts to get help, Aslam succumbed to his injuries on the spot.

Authorities confirmed that a case has been filed, and an active investigation is ongoing. They are working to apprehend the accused and gather evidence related to the confrontation and motive behind the attack.

Locals were left stunned by the sudden act of violence in an otherwise quiet area. The incident has raised concerns about personal boundaries and the consequences of unresolved tensions.

Police are urging anyone with information to come forward as they piece together the sequence of events that led to the deadly altercation.
