Mangalore, Feb 28: In a late night brawl, six persons allegedly beat up a security guard to death near Bunts Hostel here on Monday February 27.
The incident took place at around 11.30 pm. The security guard was posted on night duty at Essel Towers.
The six of them, whose identity is yet to be ascertained, were at the gate waiting for the guard to open the gate. When there was a delay by the guard in letting them in, they are said to have lost their temper and thrashed him to death.
The deceased has been identified as Ganesh from Hubli. Sources said that he died on the spot.
Following the incident, two people were arrested. One of the arrested is from Vamanjoor and the other from Bunder. Four others are absconding.
Ganesh had been employed as security guard at Essel Towers a month back. The owner had reportedly told him to close the gates by 10 pm and not allow any one inside thereafter. However, the six accused would repeatedly come late, it is said, and on Monday night things went out control.
Kadri police are investigating.
