The deceased has been identified as Vikrant Shetty (27), a resident of Shantigudde. He was employed in a recreation club at Jyothi here.

It is said that at around 11 pm, Vikrant had closed the club and was on his way home when a few people came in a car and hit his bike. They then attack him with weapons and left him dead. As it was late night, the road was deserted.

The police later received a call that an accident had taken place there. They rushed to the spot, and at first assumed it to be a case of accident. However, on examination, it was ascertained that Vikrant had been murdered. His bike also was found at the spot.
