Dasara Gully in Gadag City, Karnataka, was thrown into disruption as news broke out regarding the heinous murder of four individuals in their own home. What initially seemed like a targeted attack on a prominent municipal council member, Prakash Bakale, and his family, has taken a chilling turn with revelations of familial betrayal and hired assassins.

The horrific incident unfolded in the early hours of Friday morning when the assailants forcefully entered the Bakale residence, launching a merciless assault. While Karthik Bakale, who was sleeping on the ground floor, fell victim to the attackers, the family members of Parasurama Hadimani, who were resting on the first floor, also faced the wrath of the intruders.

Following the execution of their nefarious deed, the perpetrators callously discarded the murder weapons, tossing them into the backyard before fleeing the scene. The victims, Parasurama Hadimani, Lakshmi Hadimani, and their daughter Akanksha, hailed from Koppal and had arrived in Gadag city on April 17 to partake in the joyous occasion of Karthik Bakale's engagement ceremony. In response to the ghastly crime, the Gadag police swiftly apprehended the accused individuals and initiated rigorous interrogation procedures to unravel the full extent of the conspiracy.
