A man aged around 40 was killed when a train ran over him near Kumara Krupa Road in the jurisdiction of the Cantonment railway police. The police suspect that the three men could have committed suicide.

Arrested

The Vijayanagar police arrested 10 youths, aged between 20 and 23, on charges of murdering Govindaraj alias Thimmenahalli Govinda (39) near his house in Govindarajanagar recently.

The police seized five swords, two clubs and a chopper from the accused, nine of whom are residents of Govindarajanagar and surrounding areas. According to the police, the accused murdered Govindaraj as he was threatening them to keep away from the associates of slain gangster Thammaiah. Govindaraj, who was accused in 29 criminal cases, had allegedly plotted his rival Thammaiah’s murder in 2001.

On Saturday when Shankarappa came to persuade his wife to return, the couple again quarrelled, and in a fit of rage, he crushed her head with a grinding stone, the police said.
