Bengaluru: Four unidentified assailants brutally murdered a history-sheeter in eastern Bengaluru on Tuesday evening, the police said.
Shivakumar alias Biklu Shivu, 40, a resident of Halasuru, was hacked to death by machete-wielding men who rode up on motorcycles near his home.
Shivakumar was later pronounced dead on arrival at a hospital. The body is kept in the morgue and will soon be sent for autopsy procedures.
A case has been registered under BNS sections related to murder. Prima facie, the police suspect a past rivalry behind the gruesome killing.
