In a shocking turn of events, a 32-year-old man was discovered murdered in Kumsi, a village located in Shivamogga taluk, on the morning of Sunday, June 30, 2025.
The victim, identified as Vasu, was found dead under suspicious circumstances. Initial findings from the local authorities hint at a possible involvement of two fellow villagers in the alleged crime. Both individuals are reportedly under the scanner of the investigating officers.
According to early leads from the probe, Vasu’s alleged romantic entanglement with a married woman from the same locality might have sparked tensions, eventually leading to the fatal incident. The suspected extramarital affair is being treated as a strong possible motive by the police team handling the case.
Superintendent of Police, G.K. Mithun Kumar, addressed the media, stating that a formal case has been registered at the Kumsi Police Station. Law enforcement officials are actively tracking the suspects and intensified efforts are underway to apprehend those responsible.
Locals have been left stunned by the gruesome murder, and many are now expressing concerns about rising interpersonal conflicts in the area. While the investigation continues, security has been heightened in the region to prevent any retaliation or unrest.
The police have urged anyone with relevant information to come forward, assuring confidentiality. As the search for the accused accelerates, authorities remain tight-lipped about further details to ensure the integrity of the investigation.
