"The chargesheet also contained forensic reports confirming blood samples derived from the shock absorber matched those of Anjinappa. Call records proved Manjunath was present at the shed," a senior police officer said. The police chargesheet said Yashoda was in a relationship with Manjunath, which Anjinappa found out. Anjinappa worked as a caretaker of an agricultural land and as a truck driver. "Yashoda and Manjunath were neighbours in Chikkaballapura. Before marriage, Yashoda was in a relationship with Manjunath. When their relationship continued even after marriage, Anjinappa fought with her. Family members had to intervene," a cop said. As per a plan, Yashoda called Manjunath on his mobile, asking him to come to their shed in the early hours of May 12. "She wanted to separate from Anjinappa and live with Manjunath. But when it did not work, both planned to eliminate Anjinappa," police said.

Three including a juvenile arrested for killing a man
The Amruthalli police have arrested three youths, including a juvenile, for bludgeoning a 35-year-old man to death over a trivial row on Monday. The police had initially filed an Unnatural Death Report (UDR) after discovering the body of Anjinappa at an isolated place in Manyata Tech Park in Akashavani Nagar, suspecting that Anjinappa, an alcoholic might have fallen down in inebriated state and died. However the autopsy report revealed the cause of death as a fatal blow on the head indicating that he was killed. Following this, the police launched a murder probe and zeroed in on Premkumar, 18, and his associates Darshan Nanjunda, 20, and a juvenile. Inquiry revealed that Anjinappa was mentally disturbed and became an alcoholic after his wife deserted him. He used to beg and do odd jobs to eke out a living. While he was shepherding in Akashavani Layout, three months ago, he had assaulted Premkumar for trying to steal the sheep. Enraged Premkumar wanted to avenge, and on Monday night the accused who were returning home after consuming alcohol, confronted Anjinappa, assaulted him with a club and coconut husk found near-by, due to which he died. The accused have been booked under murder and taken into custody for further investigations.
