BANGALORE: The murder of a software engineer, Rakesh Kumar (25) of Ranchi, is turning into a Gordian knot with the police and forensic experts racking their brains over the cause of his death. Sources in the city police told The Hindu on Saturday that they are yet to ascertain the cause of Kumar's death and also the motive behind the murder. Forensic experts at Victoria Hospital, who conducted autopsy on Kumar's body on Friday, are also "puzzled." The experts have observed that though there were some bruises and cuts on Kumar's face, they could not have caused the death, the sources said. "However we have registered a case of murder as the circumstances in which Kumar's body was found suggested that he could have been murdered," the sources said. Kumar, who was employed at Tayana Software Solutions on Airport Road here, went missing on the night of April 26. On Thursday night his decomposed body was found in a desolate area at Doddakannahalli in Koramangala police station limits, some six km from where he made his last call to one of his friends from his mobile phone, the police said.
Missing complaint
According to the police, Kumar, a resident of Chinnappa Layout here, called one of his roommates from his mobile phone around 10.10 p.m. on April 26 and told him that he was caught in the rain near the tin factory. After that Kumar went missing. His friends lodged a missing complaint with the Mahadevapura police on April 27. The police said Kumar was not wearing any gold ornaments. But his mobile phone was found missing. The police suspect Kumar could have been murdered over a love affair or because of rivalry. They opine that it may not be a murder for gain. The police have formed two teams led by the Koramangala and Mahadevapura inspectors to crack the murder. The police have obtained the details of calls made from and received on Kumar's mobile phone, the sources said.
