Four Arrested in Bengaluru Gym Trainer's Murder Amid Investigation into Motive

Analysed 22 Jun 2026·2 sources analysed·Anekal, India·Crime
Four Arrested in Bengaluru Gym Trainer's Murder Amid Investigation into MotivePreviousNext

Karnataka police arrested four men from Anekal for the murder of 32-year-old gym trainer Vijay Yadav, whose body was found near Bannerghatta in early June. The victim's family alleges a politically connected real estate developer ordered the killing due to Vijay's relationship with the developer's daughter. Police are investigating the motive, with officials largely ruling out Vijay's marital dispute and focusing on other leads, including the alleged affair. The accused remain in custody for questioning.
