Hubballi: Youth’s body found stuffed in bag on highway
Hubballi: The body of a 29-year-old man was found stuffed inside a bag and dumped along the national highway near the ITC godown on Gadag Road under the Hubballi Rural Police Station limits early Wednesday morning.
The deceased has been identified as Manjunatha, a native of Bandiwada. The matter came to light when a passerby noticed a suspicious bag lying by the roadside and alerted the police.
Preliminary investigation suggests that the youth may have been murdered elsewhere, with the body later placed inside a bag and dumped on the highway.
Police arrived at the spot, shifted the body to KIMS Hospital for post-mortem examination, and initiated an investigation. The motive behind the suspected murder and the identity of those involved are yet to be ascertained.
Investigators are examining CCTV footage from nearby areas and probing all possible angles, including previous rivalry or personal enmity.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
