Bengaluru: A 35-year-old man was beaten to death on a street in Yeshwantpur, Bengaluru, allegedly by his lover’s family, who dragged him out of his home and assaulted him in broad daylight, according to his relatives.

The victim, identified as Narasimharaja, also known as Raja, had been in a relationship with Lakshmi, a widow, for over two years. On Saturday, Lakshmi visited Raja's house in Muthyalamma Nagar, where her family members barged in, dragged him outside, and began the brutal assault while bystanders watched, as reported by Deccan Herald.

When Raja’s mother attempted to intervene and stop the attack, she was allegedly assaulted by the gang as well. Unfortunately, Raja succumbed to his injuries and was declared dead upon arrival at a hospital.

Police did not arrest the suspects despite their complaint, DH wrote in its report citing his family members. They shared CCTV footage with the media on Tuesday and sought immediate action.

A senior police officer stated that the circumstances surrounding the death are still under investigation, and a case of suspicious death has been registered. Authorities are awaiting post-mortem and forensic reports before taking further action.

Visakhapatnam (PTI): India fought back gallantly through Prasidh Krishna and Kuldeep Yadav after Quinton de Kock struck his 23rd hundred, keeping South Africa to a manageable 270 in the third and series-deciding final ODI, here Saturday.

India won the toss after judging the spin of the coin incorrectly 20 times in a row. They had little hesitation in inserting the Proteas into bat, a clear indication of dew factor dominating the thought.

After Arshdeep Singh sent back Ryan Rickelton early, De Kock (106, 89b, 8x4, 6x4) struck his seventh century against India and put on 113 runs off 124 balls with skipper Temba Bavuma (48, 67b) as the visitors moved to a healthy position.

De Kock was severe on Prasidh (4/66), who erred on length continuously in his first spell (2-0-27-0). The left-hander biffed the pacer for 6, 6, 4 in his second over to milk 18 runs.

The 32-year-old quickly pounced on anything that was short, and pacers Prasidh and Harshit offered him plenty of feed on his pet areas.

Bavuma was more sedate, and made runs through those typical dabs and jabs, occasionally unfurling a drive of elan.

De Kock moved to fifty in 42 balls, and never let the tempo down reaching his hundred in 79 balls.

India found temporary relief when Ravindra Jadeja induced a false slash from Bavuma to get caught by Virat Kohli at point.

The tourists got another move on through a 54-run partnership between De Kock and Matthew Breetzkle for the third wicket, and at 168 for two in 28 overs they were in a good position to press on.

But Breetzke's punishment of part-time spinner Tilak Varma forced a rethink in the Indian camp, as skipper KL Rahul brought back Prasidh for a second spell.

What a masterstroke it turned out to be! The Karnataka man broke the back of South Africa’s top and middle order in an exceptional second spell (4-0-11-3).

Breetzke was the first man to go, trapped plumb in front with a straight one and four balls later Aiden Markram uppishly chipped a fuller delivery to Kohli at short covers.

Prasidh soon castled De Kock, whose ugly cross-batted swipe failed to connect a full length delivery from the pacer.

All of a sudden, SA found themselves at a shaky 199 for five, losing three wickets in the space of three overs.

Once Prasidh was done away with the top and middle-order, left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep (4/41) took over and mopped up the tail as SA fell short of even a par total on this track.
