History-Sheeter Hacked to Death in Bengaluru Amid Gang Rivalry Investigation
On Sunday evening in Bengaluru's JP Nagar near IG Circle, Raja alias Halmuk Raja, a history-sheeter with multiple criminal cases, was hacked to death by several assailants in a public attack captured on CCTV. Police suspect the killing is linked to gang rivalry and revenge for a decade-old murder case involving Raja. The attackers fled in a vehicle, and authorities are investigating. The incident occurred amid other violent crimes in the city, including two separate murders of women. Questions have arisen over police response after footage allegedly showed officers witnessing the attack without intervening.
