Police on Tuesday discovered the body of an elderly woman found stuffed inside a suitcase and dumped into Ramohalli lake in Kumbalgodu, West Bengaluru.

A 17-year-old boy, described by police as a habitual offender, was killed after being attacked with sickles by a group of seven to eight persons in Katraj late on Monday night. Four juveniles have been detained, while a search is underway for the remaining accused, police said. The attack took place around 10 pm on the road outside Katraj Katta Hotel near Katraj Lake. According to police, the victim and a friend had gone to collect a repaired mobile phone when the accused allegedly intercepted them. As the teenager tried to flee, they chased him and repeatedly assaulted him with sharp weapons and iron rods, inflicting severe injuries to his head, face, hands and other parts of his body. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was declared dead during treatment. Mansingh Patil, senior police inspector at Bharti Vidyapeeth Police Station, said, “Murder is the outcome of the previous enmity between them. We have formed our teams and, as of now, detained four. Search of the other accused is going on.” Police said the deceased and the accused are all juveniles with previous criminal cases registered against them. Investigators believe the murder stemmed from an earlier dispute between the two groups. The victim’s parents alleged that the accused had previously threatened to kill their son, and police are verifying the claim. On Tuesday, three of the detained accused were tied to the bonnet of a police vehicle and paraded in public. During the procession, police announced over a loudspeaker that residents had no reason to fear the accused. Family members of the victim gathered at the scene, mourning the teenager’s death and demanding strict action against those responsible. Based on a complaint filed by Ganesh Chavan, a friend of the victim, Bharti Vidyapeeth police registered a case against seven accused under Sections 103, 61, 189(2), 189(4), 190, 191, 191(2) and 191(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with Section 4(25) of the Arms Act and Sections 37(1)(3) and 135 of the Maharashtra Police Act. Senior police officers visited the crime scene, and further investigation is underway.

A routine footpath encroachment clearance drive in Shivajinagar turned violent on Tuesday after a group of alleged miscreants attacked corporation officials, leaving five civic staff members injured. The assault took place during an anti-encroachment operation led by  assistant executive engineer near the Shivajinagar bus stand as part of the civic body's ongoing citywide footpath clearance campaign. According to officials, a section of street vendors and local persons allegedly objected to the drive and attacked the officials with wooden sticks, plastic objects and other items found at the spot. Assistant executive engineer Madhavrao was among those injured in the assault. Videos of the incident circulating on social media showed officials being chased and assaulted by a group of men, while other civic staff attempted to shield their colleagues.

Commissioner of the Central City Corporation G Jagadeesh, who visited the spot after the incident, said an FIR had been registered and 10 persons had been taken into custody. He said efforts were on to apprehend the remaining accused, including the alleged main assailant. "As you all know, an encroachment removal drive is ongoing across corporation limits. We have already cleared encroachments along more than 100 kilometres. Today's operation in the Shivajinagar constituency was our 11th drive in the area. During the operation, some local miscreants attacked our staff," said Jagadeesh. Calling the assault a serious offence, he said officials had been instructed to invoke stringent legal provisions, including attempting to book the accused under charges relating to attempt to murder. "The government is treating this incident very seriously. The DCP is personally monitoring the investigation. Anyone who takes the law into their own hands will face strict legal action," he said. Jagadeesh said five personnel sustained injuries and were undergoing treatment at a hospital. He added that the Urban Development Minister, senior officials and police authorities had directed strict action against those involved in the attack. He also said the police would conduct a departmental inquiry into the deployment of police personnel during the operation. He said that civic marshals had moved ahead as part of the clearance drive, leaving the team exposed when the attack occurred. "Going forward, no team will undertake such operations without adequate security. We will ensure strict safety measures for all officials, and attacks on government servants will not be tolerated," he said.
