Man hacked to death in Koppal, 7 people arrested
Koppal (Karnataka), Jun 2 (PTI): A 35-year-old man was hacked to death inside a bakery shop over alleged enmity and a property dispute in this district, police said on Monday.
The incident, which occurred in Tavaragera town of Kushtagi taluk on May 31, was captured on a CCTV camera, they said.
Seven people have been arrested in connection with the murder, police said, adding efforts are on to trace three other accused.
In the footage that has now gone viral on social media platforms, Chanappa Harijan can be heard screaming and running into the bakery as the accused chase him. He was allegedly beaten up and attacked with machetes by a group of miscreants inside the bakery.
He was also allegedly hit on his head with a wooden log. After the incident, the accused fled the spot immediately.
"Out of the 10 people involved in the murder, we have arrested seven of them, including the four who attacked the man. Efforts are on to nab the remaining three accused who instigated them to attack the victim," Koppal Superintendent of Police L R Arasiddi told PTI.
During interrogation, the accused told police that a family dispute prevailing after the 2022 town panchayat elections is what led to the attack. Prima facie appears to be the result of an old enmity and ongoing property dispute. The case is being investigated, and all angles are being probed, he added.

3 Indians arrested in Canada for shooting outside home
Ottawa (PTI): Three Indian nationals have been arrested by Canadian police on an anti-extortion patrol and charged after bullets were fired at a home.
Harjot Singh (21), Taranveer Singh (19) and Dayajeet Singh Billing (21) face one count each of discharging a firearm, and all have been remanded in custody until Thursday, the Surrey Police Service (SPS) said in a statement on Monday.
The suspects were arrested by patrol officers after an early morning report of shots fired and a small fire outside a home in Surrey's Crescent Beach neighbourhood, the LakelandToday reported.
On February 1, 2026, the SPS members were patrolling in Surrey’s Crescent Beach neighbourhood when reports came in of shots being fired and a small fire outside a residence near Crescent Road and 132 Street.
The three accused were arrested by SPS officers a short time later, the statement said.
SPS’s Major Crime Section took over the investigation, and the three men have now been charged with Criminal Code offences, it said.
All three have been charged with one count each of discharging a firearm into a place contrary to section 244.2(1)(a) of the Criminal Code.
The investigation is ongoing, and additional charges may be forthcoming. All three have been remanded in custody until February 5, 2026.
The SPS has confirmed they are all foreign nationals and has engaged the Canada Border Services Agency, it said.
One of the suspects suffered injuries, including two black eyes, the media report said.
Surrey police Staff Sgt. Lindsey Houghton said on Monday that the suspect had refused to comply with instructions to get out of the ride-share vehicle and started to "actively resist."
"As we were trained, he was taken to the ground and safely handcuffed," said Houghton.
A second suspect with a black eye was also injured in the arrest after refusing to comply, Houghton said.
The arresting officers were part of Project Assurance, an initiative that patrols neighbourhoods that have been targeted by extortion violence.
Houghton said the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is also involved because the men are foreign nationals, and the trio may face additional charges.
It's not clear if the men are in the country on tourist visas, a study permit, or a work permit, but Houghton said CBSA has started its own investigation into the men's status.
Surrey has seen a number of shootings at homes and businesses over the last several months, but there's been an escalation since the new year.
