Bengaluru Police Arrest Brother and Two Friends in Alleged Fratricide Near Bannerghatta

Police say CCTV tracing led to the arrests after the roadside discovery, with the accused citing long-term harassment as motive.

They picked Dhanraj from Bannerghatta-NICE Road in Bengaluru, and while he was in the front seat, Sandeep and Prashant allegedly grabbed him, after which Shivraj struck him on his neck with a machete.
What initially appeared to be an unexplained death has now unraveled into a premeditated murder.
