Bengaluru minor's murder: Accused arrested in encounter with police

A major breakthrough is reported in the Hulimavu kidnapping and murder case of a thirteen-year-old boy. Police have arrested two accused, Gurumurthy and Gopalakrishna, after opening fire on them during an encounter. The main accused were shot in the legs and apprehended. According to police, they opened fire in self-defense after the accused attempted to attack them with lethal weapons while resisting arrest. Gurumurthy, who worked as a spare driver at the boy's residence, is identified as the alleged mastermind with a criminal background. The boy was reportedly abducted and murdered on the same night before a ransom demand was made. Separately, the verdict in the Prasad Rewana sexual assault case is expected to be pronounced soon by the special court for public representatives in Hassan.
