Six held in Bengaluru for attack of rowdy-sheeter over old rivalry
Bengaluru: Six men who allegedly barged into the house of a rowdy-sheeter’s friend in Rajgopal Nagar when he was there and attacked him with rods and machetes recently, were arrested by the city police on Monday.
The arrested men are Ramesh (also called Balilu), who is 25 years old; Saketa, 30; Tejash (Tiger), 30; Deekshit, 22; Aruna, 25; and Vijayakumar (Viji), 20, from a bus stop near Laggere, all of whom have prior criminal records, the police said on Tuesday.
The six men had a disagreement with a former associate Narendra, also called Dasa, who is a rowdy-sheeter from Nandini Layout. Narendra was reportedly at his friend’s house in Rajgopal Nagar on Thursday, when the group of six men forced its way into the house and attacked him as well as his friends in the house, before escaping.
Narendra filed a police complaint about the attack with the Rajgopal Nagar Police the next day.
A senior officer said that the three separate teams, led by three sub-inspectors, were formed for the investigation. The probe had revealed that the six men, who were earlier in the same gang as Narendra, had attacked him over an old internal rivalry, as the gang had split recently.
An FIR has been filed at the Rajgopal Nagar police station under IPC sections for attempted murder and criminal intimidation, and the Arms Act.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
