Two arrested in Mysuru for crimes in Bengaluru #IndiaNEWS #News
An elderly man’s murder case and a case of blackmailing women



Bengaluru/Mysuru: Two persons have been arrested in Mysuru by the Bengaluru Police in connection with two separate crimes that took place in the State Capital.



While in one case, a 20-year-old youth, a college dropout, was arrested from Kuvempunagar along with his friend from Hassan for the alleged murder of his grandfather, in another case, a 30-year-old youth from T. Narasipur, an employee of a private firm, for allegedly recording videos of relatives and friends with a spy camera and blackmailing them for sexual favours.



The Yelahanka Police arrested 20-year-old Jayanth alias Balle from Kuvempunagar in Mysuru, and his associate 22-year-old Yaseen, from Gorur in Hassan district on charges of murdering 70-year-old C. Puttaiah, Jayanth’s grandfather.



Puttaiah was a retired lab assistant of Kendriya Vidyalaya and a resident of 6th Cross, Surabhi Layout. Though Puttaiah had four sons, he lived alone after his wife’s death in 2017 and his children used to visit him often.  



Business loan surety



According to the Police, Jayanth wanted to start a business and desperately needed money and was planning to apply for a business loan. He sought help from his grandfather Puttaiah, for a share of their ancestral property for the required surety for the business loan.



However, Puttaiah did not entertain Jayanth’s desperate pleas and refused to divide his property among his four children due to some differences. Jayanth later plotted to kill his grandfather and sought the help of Yaseen. Jayanth’s father P. Chandru is the second son of Puttaiah.



An insider job



On the intervening night of Aug. 16 and 17, Jayanth and his friend gained entry to Puttaiah’s house and bludgeoned Puttaiah to death. They removed the gold ring of the deceased and ransacked the house to make the crime appear like murder for gain. After the crime, Jayanth and his friend fled from the back door.



On Aug. 17 morning, Puttaiah’s neighbours noticed that Puttaiah was not to be seen as his usual routine. He daily opened the main door of his house without fail. The neighbours immediately informed Puttaiah’s son Naveen who resides in K. S. Layout.



As the front door was locked, Naveen entered through the back door and found his father in a pool of blood in the bedroom and called the Police. The Police later scanned the CCTV footage from the neighbouring areas and zeroed in on Jayanth on Aug. 20. From the beginning, the Police knew it was an insider’s job.



According to Anoop A. Shetty, DCP (Bengaluru Northeast), Jayanth had visited Puttaiah’s house on Aug.
