A 42-year-old advocate was shot dead late at night, allegedly by two of his tenants, at Pattandur Agrahara under the Whitefield police station limits of #Bengaluru . The deceased has been identified as Manjunath (42), a practicing #advocate and property owner in the locality. According to the police, the murder occurred between 11:30 PM and midnight. The two accused, both working as delivery personnel for #Swiggy , were residing as tenants on Manjunath's property. Preliminary investigations revealed that a heated argument had erupted between the landlord and the duo roughly an hour prior to the shooting over pending rent arrears. The confrontation escalated shortly before midnight when the two men confronted Manjunath again, and one of the accused whipped out a firearm and shot him directly in the head. Both assailants fled the scene immediately after firing the fatal shot. Senior officers from the #Whitefield station rushed to the spot alongside forensic experts to inspect the crime scene. Police have launched a manhunt to nab the accused and further investigation is underway.
