A 35-year-old history-sheeter was hacked to death by a gang of five persons at his house near Sarakki in JP Nagar in the early hours of Sunday.
According to the police, the deceased is Srinivas alias Stand Kutty. He was residing in a rented house along with his wife Lakshmi. Srinivas was running errands for Ansar Pasha, the corporator of Banashankari temple ward. Sources say that he was also into real estate business. Srinivas was a rowdy sheeter with Banashankari police station and has several cases of theft, dacoity, attempt to murder and robbery registered against him in various police stations.
Around 3 am, a gang of five persons went to Srinivas's house. They broke open the door and barged inside. Srinivas, who was asleep, woke up to the noise and came out of the bedroom. The gang attacked him with sharp weapons. Hearing his screams, Lakshmi came out and found her husband being attacked. She tried to intervene, but was pushed away by the assailants. They continued to attack Srinivas, who collapsed. Hearing the commotion, the neighbours came out and the assailants took to their heels.
The JP Nagar police were alerted, who rushed to the house and shifted Srinivas to a nearby private hospital, where he was declared brought dead, said the police.
The police mentioned that an old rivalry might be the reason for the attack. All possible angles are being investigated and a few vital clues about the identity of the assailants have been obtained. The assailants, who are on the run, will be arrested at the earliest, added the police.
A case has been registered in JP Nagar police station and investigation is being carried out.
