Bengaluru: A 14-year-old boy allegedly killed a toddler in the limits of Soaldevanahalli police station limits.

The deceased has been identified as Venkatesh (2), son of Basavaraj and Venkamma of Raichur. Police have arrested a teenager related to the murder.

Incident details:

According to police, the accused reared some pigeons at home. The bird droppings had led to quarrel between his parents and neighbours including Basavaraj's family.

A couple of days ago, there was an altercation between both the families.

On Wednesday afternoon, the boy found one of the pigeons missing at home and spotted it sitting nearby on the road. As he ran to catch the bird, the child reportedly came in between. By the time he could react, the bird flew away.

Police said the angry teenager allegedly took the child to a nearby plantation, dumped him on the ground and stamped him to death with his feet. Later, he fled from the spot.


The toddler's parents went in search when they did not find him for quite some time. They found the child lying in the plantation and rushed him to a nearby hospital where doctors declared him brought dead, police said.

New Delhi: The Congress party has stood by Pawan Khera, the Chairman of the party’s Media and Publicity Department, expressing confidence that regardless of hurdles like politics of threat and intimidation, justice would emerge victorious.

Khera was denied anticipatory bail by the Gauhati High Court on Friday in the case filed against him by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's wife Riniki Bhuyan Sarma for alleging that she possessed not only multiple passports but also undisclosed properties abroad.

Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has said in a post in Hindi on his ‘X’ account, “The entire Indian National Congress stands in solidarity with Pawan Khera, the Chairman of its Media and Publicity Department. The process to challenge the Gauhati High Court’s decision in the Supreme Court is underway.” In the post, which he put up on Friday, Ramesh has added, “We are confident that justice will prevail over the politics of threats, intimidation, and harassment.”

Bhuyan Sarma has lodged also an FIR seeking legal action against Pawan Khera for his allegations that she possesses passports of three countries and owns a company in the US, which had invested Rs. 50,000 crores. She has filed criminal cases against the Congress leader at the Guwahati Crime Branch Police Station under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
