Two Minors Detained for Alleged Murder of 13-Year-Old in Bengaluru
Two minors have been arrested in Bengaluru for the alleged murder of 13-year-old Arfath near Vibhutipura Lake. The attack, involving stones, reportedly followed a dispute about a month earlier involving a girl and a blocked two-wheeler. The victim was found dead on October 12 after being assaulted near the lake on October 4 or 11. Police say the minors, aged between 14 and 17, were motivated by a grudge and have been sent to a juvenile home.
