A massive heist occurred at Canara Bank in Basavanabagewadi, Vijayapura district, during which gold ornaments weighing 59 kg and Rs 5.2 lakh cash were taken. The case has posed a significant problem to the authorities, particularly after claims surfaced that black magic was utilised to mislead the investigators.
In response, eight special teams have been created to investigate the matter, and officials have stated that the perpetrators would be apprehended shortly.
Recently, in a horrifying daylight theft in Bidar, motorcycle-borne robbers killed two security officers and stole 93 lakhs in cash from an ATM cash delivery van.
In another case, a 35-year-old man was slashed to death inside a bakery store in this region over purported hostility and a property dispute, police said on Monday.
According to them, a CCTV camera caught the May 31 incident that took place in the town of Tavaragera in the Kushtagi taluk. According to authorities, seven persons have been taken into custody in relation to the murder, and three more suspects are being sought.
Chanappa Narinal can be heard screaming and sprinting into the bakery as the accused pursues him in the video, which has since gone viral on social media.
Inside the bakery, a gang of criminals reportedly thrashed him and assaulted him with machetes.
He was also allegedly struck in the head with a wooden plank. Following the encounter, the accused departed the scene immediately.
