A female actor, a social media influencer, and 11 other people are arrested. According to reports, the incident began with what appeared to be a normal plan. Anish, who had recently shifted from Bengaluru to Mumbai, was in touch with a female actor friend based in Indiranagar. They were discussing selling his car, and she reportedly offered to help him with the deal.
However, things took a dark turn when Anish returned to Bengaluru. On the night of February 9, he was allegedly kidnapped from the Adugodi area. He was then taken to a house under the Byadarahalli police station limits, where he was held against his will.
During this time, five to six accused reportedly attacked him using cricket stumps and hockey sticks. The assault was severe, and the attackers also robbed him of gold ornaments he was wearing, along with around Rs 30,000 in cash.
The ordeal didn’t end there. The accused then took him by car to Mandaragiri Hill, near Panditanahalli in Tumakuru district. Two more individuals allegedly joined them there, and Anish was again beaten.
The case came to light after Anish filed a complaint at the Adugodi police station on February 11. Based on his complaint, police registered a case of kidnapping, assault, and robbery and began an investigation.
After tracking multiple leads, the police arrested all 11 accused of the crime. Officials also recovered six mobile phones linked to the case, along with stolen gold ornaments, cash, and the car used during the crime.
All the accused have been presented in court and remanded to custody. The police have said that further investigation is ongoing to understand the full motive and background of the case.
