Events after local cricket match

According to police investigation, Prashanth had taken part in a local cricket tournament held in Kammasandra village earlier that day. His team lost the match and he was reportedly upset by the defeat.

After returning home, Prashanth spoke to his mother about the loss. Later in the evening, around 7.30 pm, he received a phone call and left home to return to the cricket ground.

Argument during drinking session

At the ground, Prashanth met his friend Roshan Hegde, aged 27. Police said the two were consuming alcohol together when an argument broke out between them.

The exact reason for the fight is still being investigated. Police are examining whether the argument was linked to cricket betting or anger over the match loss.

Alleged deliberate crash into tree

As the argument intensified, Roshan allegedly tried to leave the spot in his car. Prashanth attempted to stop him and reportedly held on to the left-side window of the moving vehicle, hanging outside.

Despite this, Roshan is accused of driving the car at high speed and deliberately crashing it into a roadside tree without stopping.

The impact caused severe injuries to Prashanth, who was hanging outside the vehicle.

Case altered to murder

After reviewing the complaint filed by Prashanth’s mother, police altered the case to murder. Officers said her statement clearly alleged that the crash was intentional.

Police officials confirmed that Roshan will be arrested once he recovers and is declared fit for questioning.

'My son was turning 33, and we had built a new house to get him married in two months. If he did something wrong, they should have taught him a lesson, not killed him like this,' cried the deceased Prashanth's mother, Anu, demanding justice. 

Based on the mother's complaint, Hebbagodi police have filed a murder case (Section 302).

Post-mortem and investigation continue

The body of Prashanth has been sent to St John’s Hospital for post-mortem examination. Police said further investigation is underway to establish the full sequence of events and motive behind the incident.
