Three Arrested in Bengaluru Over Murder of Man in Live-in Relationship

In Bengaluru's Manjunath Nagar, Mohan Rao, in his 40s and engaged in small-scale finance, was found dead with stab injuries on February 27. Police arrested three individuals—Bindu, an actor and Rao's live-in partner; Vinay, her associate; and Dhanush Gowda—in connection with the murder. Investigations revealed a love triangle, with Bindu and Vinay planning to marry, while Rao opposed it. The trio allegedly conspired, intoxicated Rao, stabbed him, and suffocated him. The crime was discovered after neighbors reported a foul smell from the locked house. Further investigation is ongoing.
