Employer kills employee with cricket bat and pipe after finding him with daughter

A heartbreaking incident has occurred in the Yelahanka area of Bengaluru, where a factory owner has been accused of the brutal murder of his own employee. According to information provided by The Hindu and Aaj Tak, a 45-year-old man named Anandraj beat a youth named Kiran, aged between 22 and 24, to death after finding him in a room with his daughter. The police have arrested the accused Anandraj and a case of murder has been registered in the matter.

The deceased Kiran was a resident of Thiruvegappura in Palakkad district of Kerala state. For the past few years, he had been working at Anandraj's home and his factory. According to an Aaj Tak report, machines and carts for making sweet corn are prepared in Anandraj's factory. Kiran was employed as a worker in this factory. Preliminary police investigation revealed that Anandraj had recently learned about the close relationship between his daughter and Kiran. Anandraj's elder daughter studies in Mysuru and had come home during her vacations.

The incident took place on Tuesday afternoon at their residence located near Kogilu Cross in Yelahanka. According to the police, Anandraj had left the house with his wife on Tuesday morning. He had told his daughter that they were travelling to Tamil Nadu and would return at night. However, this was merely a plan. Anandraj and his wife returned home within a few hours, upon which they found Kiran and their daughter together in a room.

Seeing this scene, Anandraj became extremely enraged. He immediately sent his daughter to a relative's house in Chikkaballapur. Subsequently, he locked Kiran inside the house. According to an NDTV India report, the accused beat Kiran with a cricket bat throughout the night. According to The Hindu, Anandraj used a cricket bat and an iron pipe to attack Kiran. In this violent assault, Kiran sustained severe injuries to his arms, legs, and abdomen, causing him to lose consciousness.

After the attack, Anandraj took the unconscious Kiran to a nearby hospital in an auto-rickshaw. However, when he was brought to the hospital, the doctors examined him and declared that Kiran had already passed away. The hospital sent a medico-legal case (MLC) alert, through which the police were informed of the incident. When the police reached the hospital, it was confirmed that Kiran's death was caused by the attack.

A further serious and shocking revelation has emerged in this case. Kiran's maternal cousin Prasad has claimed that this murder was not the result of accidental rage, but a pre-planned conspiracy. According to Prasad, Anandraj had sent Kiran's brother to Uttar Pradesh for delivery work this very week. The purpose was to ensure that no other person was around Kiran when Anandraj attacked him, and no one could intervene to save him. Kiran's family has described the incident as a complete conspiracy.

Bengaluru North East Division DCP G.K. Mithun Kumar, while issuing a statement on the matter, stated that the accused executive Anandraj has been arrested. Preliminary investigation suggests that Anandraj intentionally murdered Kiran. The police are now also investigating whether any other person was present in the house at the time of the incident and if anyone else played a role in this crime. Yelahanka police have registered a murder case and further investigation is underway.

Police officials further stated that they are currently verifying the age of the daughter, which is important from a legal perspective. This incident has shocked the entire area, as an employer committed such cruelty against his own trusted employee.

In the entire incident, the police are collecting all evidence and the accused is being interrogated. Kiran's family members are in shock and are demanding justice. The police are further investigating whether this attack was carried out merely in a fit of rage or if it was a well-planned scheme as claimed by Prasad.
