Kalaburagi: A horrific case of bloodshed took place late last night in the commercial city of Kalaburagi. A gang of miscreants stormed into an office and brutally hacked a former minister’s nephew to death with lethal weapons, allegedly over a financial dispute. The incident occurred late at night at the Venkateshwara Complex near P&T Colony in Kalaburagi city. The deceased has been identified as Anil Rathod (45), the nephew of former minister Revu Naik Belamagi.

Armed Gang Storms Office with Lethal Weapons

The deceased, Anil Rathod, was involved in finance and real estate businesses. As usual, he was working in his office located at the Venkateshwara Complex when the attack happened.

Late at night, a gang of three miscreants arrived at the scene in an autorickshaw and headed straight for Anil's office. Upon storming inside, the attackers launched a brutal assault on Anil with the lethal weapons they were carrying and hacked him to death. After committing the gruesome crime, the gang escaped in the same autorickshaw.

Financial Dispute Suspected; Police Commissioner Visits Spot

Since Anil Rathod was actively involved in finance and the real estate business, it is strongly suspected that a rivalry over financial dealings could be the motive behind this murder.

City Police Commissioner Dr. Sharanappa S.D. and other senior police officers visited the crime scene to inspect the area. Intensive investigations are underway, with a SOCO (Scene of Crime Officers) team and a dog squad deployed to gather forensic evidence and track clues.

A case has been registered at the Station Bazaar Police Station, and the police have launched a massive manhunt to nab the killers.
