The deceased is Vijeeth (29) from Shivanagara who worked as a construction supervisor. Police said at least four cases including three cases of attempt to murder were pending against him. He was also reportedly indirectly involved in the murder of his brother in-law Upendra and rowdy sheeter Murugesh in 2011.

Sources said some previous enmity might have led to the murder as there was some discord between Vijeeth and some of his gang members.

Mangaluru Police Commissioner Murugan and senior police officials have visited the scene of the crime.
