A 35-year-old man named Ajith was brutally murdered with lethal weapons near Doddagunte in Cox Town, Bengaluru, reportedly over a usury dispute. Ajith, who worked at the ITC factory, was attacked in front of his house while returning from work.

The murder stemmed from conflicts over money Ajith had borrowed at a high-interest rate. Disputes over the repayment of the principal and interest led to frequent quarrels between Ajith and the accused. On the day of the incident, the accused waited for Ajith to return home and fatally attacked him before fleeing the scene.

The accused is believed to have come from Singasandra near Electronic City. Pulakeshi Nagar police are conducting an intense search to apprehend the suspect involved in this heinous crime.
