BANGALORE: A man with criminal antecedents who had been to a New Year’s Eve party was found murdered on the road in Byatarayanapura police station limits in the early hours of Tuesday.

The police identified him as Sunil Kumar alias Palla (23), a resident of Rudrappa Garden in Kasturbanagar on Mysore Road. There were criminal cases against Sunil in Chamarajpet and Byatarayanapura police stations. He was recently released from jail, the police said.

The Byatarayanapura police, who have registered a case, suspect that Sunil could have been murdered owing to gang rivalry.
