Shabbir, a 29-year-old scrap dealer, was hacked to death by a group of armed assailants on January 12 in Bengaluru. Police suspect an old grudge over a previous quarrel as the motive. The incident occurred late at night when Shabbir was returning home. The attackers intercepted his auto-rickshaw, dragged him out, and fatally assaulted him in public view before fleeing. Police are investigating the case, reviewing CCTV footage, and forming teams to apprehend the suspects.
