A heartbreaking case has come to light in Bengaluru. Seven criminals brutally attacked a 38-year-old man and his wife for opposing a gang holding a roadside party. The incident took place in Tunganagar area of Herohalli, where Shivagange Gowda, 38, and his wife Jayalakshmi, 35, were attacked by seven men armed with daggers, cricket bats and hollow bricks. Byadarahalli police registered the case and arrested some accused.
According to information received from the police, Gowda, who lives in the fourth main area of Magadi Road, had parked his Innova car near his house. Around 7 pm, Gowda noticed some youths drinking alcohol near his car and behaving indecently. Concerned about the noise and presence of alcohol in the residential area, Gowda asked people to leave. Faced with this situation, the criminals responded: “We’re leaving, man,” but the party continued. After this, Gowda contacted police 112, but did not get any response.
What is the problem?
Police said Gowda tried to call 112 to complain but got no response. After some time, Gowda took his dog for a walk and returned at 9:30 pm. He then approached the three youths and asked them: Do you have no dignity? Now leave this place. Hearing Gowda’s words, the young man became angry and an argument broke out between the two. In such a situation, when Jayalakshmi came out of the house after hearing the noise, some people in the group threatened her. At this, Jayalakshmi slapped him, after which the miscreants attacked him. As the confrontation escalated, more people joined the group and attacked the couple with bricks. Both were seriously injured as a result of the attack.
Incident caught on CCTV
Gowda told the police that he sent them inside to protect his wife, but the miscreants attacked them. The entire incident has been captured by the CCTV cameras of the neighboring houses. A police officer said three attackers were arrested and efforts were underway to nab the others.
