A 28-year-old employee of Uniox Digital Solutions India Private Limited in Kogilu near Yelahanka was found dead in his flat at Sai Samruddhi Apartment in Srinivasapura. The deceased, Janardhan Bhat, was strangled to death by his colleagues Sulaiman and Rizwan over a dispute regarding parking their motorbikes in the building’s parking lot.
The incident came to light on Thursday morning when another employee of the same company discovered Bhat’s body under his cot. Areef Pasha, an employee of Uniox Digital Solutions, informed the owner of the firm, Hemalatha, who rushed to the spot and filed a complaint with the Yelahanka police.
According to the complaint, Bhat had an altercation with the accused around 12 am on March 29 regarding the parking of their motorbikes. After the altercation, Pasha and another tenant intervened and took Sulaiman and Rizwan back to their room.
The following day, Pasha went to Bhat’s room and found him tied up with his mouth covered with tape and a wire around his neck. Hemalatha rushed to the spot and alleged that the two accused, who worked as TV and air conditioner technicians, killed Bhat.
The Yelahanka police have formed a special team to capture the suspects who are on the run. Bhat’s body was handed over to his family after post-mortem.
The company provided accommodation for its employees in rented flats located in Sai Samruddhi Apartment. Both Bhat and the accused were residents of the same flat. The incident has shocked the local community, and the police are investigating the case to bring the culprits to justice.
