The Byatarayanapura police on Monday claimed to have solved the murder case of a youth by arresting four persons.
According to the police, Chetan, 24, a resident of JP Nagar and a private firm employee was in love with Deepika (name changed).
Santosh, a family friend, had urged Deepika’s mother to marry her off with him (Santosh).
He allegedly hatched a conspiracy to eliminate Chetan, after he learnt about the marriage plans of Chetan and Deepika.
According to the police, Santosh and his associate abducted Chetan from Mysore Road on December 23 and murdered him at Srirangapatna.
Chetan’s family members lodged a missing complaint as he did not return from his workplace. The police collected crucial details based on Chetan’s cell phone call records and arrested the four.
The police did not disclose the names of the other three arrested.
