Two youths murdered in Vijayapura, old rivalry suspected
Vijayapura (Karnataka) (PTI): Two youths were brutally killed in a suspected revenge attack in Kannur village of Vijayapura taluk, police said on Monday.
The victims have been identified as Sagar Belundagi (25) and Isahak Khureshi (24).
According to police sources, the assailants immediately fled the scene after committing the crime on Sunday.
The killings were a result of previous enmity, as both Sagar and Isahak had allegedly assaulted a man identified as Iranagouda from Tammur village two years ago.
Iranagouda had succumbed to his injuries after undergoing treatment for several days.
Police believe that the duo was murdered to avenge the killing of Iranagouda.
The Vijayapura Rural Police visited the spot and conducted an inspection.
A case has been registered and efforts are underway to trace the culprits.

CJI Surya Kant clarifies 'parasites' remarks, says 'pained' over media reports
New Delhi (PTI): Chief Justice of India Surya Kant on Saturday issued a strongly worded clarification on his 'parasites' remarks, saying he was "pained" by media reports that suggested he criticised youth.
"I am pained to read how a section of the media has misquoted my oral observations made during the hearing of a frivolous case yesterday," the CJI said in a statement.
Kant emphasised that his remarks were specifically directed at individuals entering the legal profession through "fake and bogus degrees" and were "misquoted by a section of the media."
The clarification follows a controversy during a hearing on Friday, when the CJI used words like "parasites" and "cockroaches" while pulling up a lawyer for his plea seeking senior designation.
"What I had specifically criticised were those who have entered professions like the Bar (legal profession) with the aid of fake and bogus degrees. Similar persons have sneaked into the media, social media, and other noble professions as well, and hence, they are like parasites.
"It is totally baseless to suggest that I criticised the youth of our nation. Not only am I proud of our present and future human resource, but every youth of India inspires me. It is not an exaggeration to say that Indian youth have great regard and respect for me, and I too see them as the pillars of a developed India," the chief justice said about his remarks.
