A gang of six men hacked a rowdy to death over a financial dispute in Subramanyapura on Sunday morning. The deceased is Ganesh, 38, a resident of Harinagar, who was involved in 12 cases, including murders, attempts to murder and assaults, in Subramanyapura.
The murder took place near Vinayaka theatre around 9 am when Ganesh had gone there to meet a friend. Ganesh stepped out of Shivashakthi Recreation Club and was heading to a supermarket when the assailants followed him in an autorickshaw and a bike. Police said they accosted Ganesh near the theatre and attacked him with lethal weapons.
Ganesh tried to flee and ran into an open site but could not go any further as the site was fenced. The suspects surrounded him and hacked him to death. Police said Ganesh died on the spot from massive injuries.
Police said Ganesh had recently reformed by giving up all anti-social activities and had ventured into real estate and cable TV business. However, a month ago, he had a fight with a few local boys over a financial matter which, the police suspect, could have triggered the attack on him. Police said the CCTV cameras in the area have captured images of the assailants which would help them arrest the culprits soon.
