Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) K.V. Sharathchandra told presspersons on Wednesday that on June 16, the three youths stabbed Krishnachari (32) in the chest and robbed him of a mobile phone in Vijayanagar police station limits.

Krishnachari (32), an employee of Cadbury (India) Ltd, was found murdered in RPC Layout early on June 16, the police said.

On June 24, the accused had attacked Ganesh (35) with a knife at Avalahalli in Chandra Layout and robbed him of a mobile phone and Rs. 35.

In the third incident reported from Byatarayanapura police station limits on June 29, the gang stabbed Vinod Kumar, a student and son of a police constable, in the abdomen and robbed him of Rs. 500 and a mobile phone, the police said.

Two hours before attacking Vinod, the accused had stabbed another youth, Tauseef (19), in the abdomen and snatched a mobile phone from him.

The incident had occurred near the railway tracks at Deepanjalinagar, off Mysore Road, when Tauseef, a welder, was walking towards his house.
