18-Year-Old Surya Stabbed to Death in Bengaluru Rural District Following Altercation Triggered by Photoshoot at ‘Dhaba’

Accident – Death – Obituary News : Bengaluru, November 13: A tragic incident occurred on Sunday evening near Doddaballapura in Bengaluru Rural district when an 18-year-old youth lost his life after being stabbed to death by a group. The incident took place following an altercation triggered by a photoshoot at a popular ‘dhaba’ in the area.

The ‘dhaba’ is known for its attractive wall paintings, which often attract visitors who wish to capture memorable moments through photoshoots. On the occasion of Deepavali, Surya, along with three of his friends, was enjoying a photoshoot at the entrance of the ‘dhaba’. However, their peaceful time was disrupted when another group, who had just finished their lunch at the ‘dhaba’, approached them and requested to have their pictures taken as well.

Initially, Surya and his friends refused the request, but after some persuasion, they agreed to take the other group’s photos. The group then insisted that Surya and his friends immediately transfer the pictures to one of their WhatsApp numbers. Surya explained that the photos could not be directly sent to mobile phones as they were taken using a camera and needed to be downloaded and transferred to a system first. However, the other group continued to insist on the immediate transfer, leading to a heated argument between the two groups.

In a shocking turn of events, one of the accused, identified as Dileep, pulled out a sharp-edged weapon and stabbed Surya in the chest. The young victim collapsed on the spot and was rushed to a nearby hospital, but unfortunately, he succumbed to his stab wounds. The accused group quickly fled the scene on their motorcycles.

Mallikarjun Baldani, Superintendent of Police (Bengaluru Rural district), confirmed that a case of murder has been registered in connection with the incident. Statements from the victim’s friends have also been recorded as part of the investigation. Two of the five accused have been identified, and efforts are underway to identify and apprehend the remaining individuals involved in the crime.

The tragic incident has left the local community in shock and disbelief. The loss of a young life over a trivial altercation is a stark reminder of the need for peaceful resolution and non-violence in society. The incident also highlights the importance of maintaining calm and rationality in conflicts to prevent such tragic outcomes.

The authorities are working diligently to bring the perpetrators to justice and ensure that such incidents do not recur in the future. The incident serves as a reminder for people to exercise restraint and promote harmony, especially during festive seasons when tensions can run high.

It is crucial for everyone to reflect on the consequences of their actions and strive for a more peaceful and understanding society. The loss of a young life in such a senseless act of violence should serve as a wake-up call for the community to come together and promote a culture of respect, empathy, and non-violence..
