Kishor then pressured her to end her marriage with Umesh but she refused. When she began avoiding him, an enraged Kishor uploaded an explicit video on Facebook.
Umesh then filed a complaint against Kishor to the police who was arrested and taken into judicial custody.
The court had granted him bail and he and a four other men decided to take revenge on Umesh. Kishor had promised them a large amount of money in exchange for the favour.
At around 10 pm on May 12, the four men who were appointed by Kishor arrived at Umesh’s kebab shop and hacked him to death. The four men had reportedly worked at a private firm in Kengeri. They were identified as Sumanth Raj (29) from Chikmagalur, Jitendra (30) from Hassan, Pradeep Kumar (40) from Chitradurga and Raveesh (44) from Hassan. They were arrested on charges of killing Umesh.
