A youth was allegedly murdered using lethal weapons at Tarikere.
The deceased is Arun (23), a resident of Kanamanahatti. Miscreants threw chilli powder at him when he was riding a two-wheeler before hacking him to death, police said.
Though he was rushed to the hospital, he breathed last while being taken to a hospital. It is suspected that personal enmity led to the murder.
DySP J J Thirumalesh said that two teams have been constituted to crack the case.
Additional SP N S Shruthi visited the spot.
