Bengaluru: B.com student murdered during farm parties, friends filmed in swimming pool

A 21-year-old student, Punith, was killed after three men allegedly attacked him with a wooden log in a farmhouse near Bengaluru.

According to PTI, Punith, a B.Com student, had gone to the farm in Chikkenahalli with seven friends, including two women. Later that evening, three men arrived at the farm and started harassing Punith and his friends.

The three men reportedly filmed Punith’s girlfriends while they were in the swimming pool. When Punith tried to stop them, they attacked him with a wooden log and hit him on the head. Punith was taken to hospital, but died of his injuries four days later. A friend of Punith also suffered minor injuries in the incident.

Police reported the murder and arrested the three men involved.

Meanwhile, in a separate incident, a man named Deven Mehta alleged that a group of goons attacked him on a busy road in Bengaluru. Sharing videos and photos of the incident, he stated that the assailants damaged his car and threatened both him and a woman in the vehicle.

“My car was attacked by goons at 7pm on the busy streets of Bangalore as traffic police watched them break glasses, throw stones and threaten us in Kudlu despite a woman being in the car,” he wrote.

Mehta also alleged that a traffic police officer was present but did not intervene to stop the attack. In response, the Bengaluru city police contacted him on social media and asked him for details of the location and his contact details, assuring that they had alerted the relevant officers for action.
