The case of the death of a Bengaluru bar owner is taking many twists. The cops in Bengaluru city on Saturday detained four members of a gang, which was supposedly involved in the murder of pub owner, Manish Shetty. The cops stated that the accused were hiding in a lodge in the city after committing the crime. The police had to open fire on two of the gang members, who allegedly tried to attack the police who had taken them to recover murder weapons — four machetes were hidden in a burial ground on Hosur Road on the outskirts of the city.

He added that personal rivalry between Munna and the deceased Shetty seems to be the motive behind this murder. "During the course of the investigation, the police team had taken Munna and Akshay to Barlane cemetery on Hosur Road to recover the machetes used for the offence. At around 6.30 pm, both the accused tried to assault the police team and our team opened fire on them in self-defense," he explained.
