A horrifying crime unfolded in the Whitefield police jurisdiction of Bengaluru, where a property owner was shot dead late at night in Pattandur Agrahara. The deceased has been identified as 42-year-old Manjunath, who practiced law and was also actively engaged in the real estate business. Investigators suspect that two young men residing as tenants in his building carried out the fatal shooting following an altercation over pending payments. Law enforcement authorities have initiated a high-priority manhunt to track down the fleeing suspects.
Late-Night Argument Over Outstanding Rent Escalates
According to police officials handling the case, the murder took place between 11:30 PM and midnight. Both accused individuals worked as delivery agents for a popular food delivery platform and had rented accommodation on Manjunath's property. Initial inquiries indicate that approximately an hour before the gunfire, a fierce argument broke out between Manjunath and the two tenants regarding overdue rent money. Although the initial confrontation seemed to disperse temporarily, hostilities resurfaced shortly afterwards.

Around midnight, the tenants confronted Manjunath once more on the premises. As the verbal clash intensified, one of the tenants brandished a firearm and fired a shot directly into Manjunath's head. The victim collapsed immediately due to the catastrophic head trauma. Taking advantage of the nighttime hours, both attackers fled the scene without delay. Senior officers from the Whitefield police station arrived shortly after along with forensic crime-scene specialists to document evidence and scour the location. Specialized search teams have been deployed to apprehend the culprits.
