Plumber murdered following argument over salary

A 45-year-old plumber was allegedly murdered by his colleague in an apartment complex on Neeladri Road in Electronic City here on Saturday night.

The victim, Nagappa, a native of Venkatagirikota in Kuppam, Andhra Pradesh, was staying with his co-workers in the apartment where they had been hired to undertake plumbing work.

Nagappa and one of his co-workers, Krishna, had an argument over their salary during which Krishna, in a fit of rage, used a hammer to hit Nagappa on the left ear and on the left side of his head. Nagappa, who suffered grievous injuries, died later in the night, while Krishna fled the scene.

The incident came to light on Sunday morning when the construction supervisor entered the apartment and saw Nagappas body in a pool of blood. He immediately informed the police who rushed to the spot and shifted the body to Victoria Hospital for post-mortem.

The Electronic City police, who have registered a case, are on the lookout for Krishna.

The Basaveshwaranagar police arrested a man for allegedly assaulting a 28-year-old homemaker after he made an attempt to snatch her chain at her residence here on Saturday.

The homemaker, Bhavya, who lives with her husband, Muni Reddy, on Basaveshwarnagar 8th cross, was alone at her house when the accused Balasubrahmanya, a family friend, dropped in on Friday night.
