Another person aged around 45 was run over by a train between Kengeri and Hejjala railway stations on Bangalore-Mysore tracks. The city Railway police have registered separate cases.

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.

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

The police seized five swords, two clubs and a chopper from the accused, nine of whom are residents of Govindarajanagar.

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.
