A 21-years-old man was found dead in his make shift house in Avalahalli police limits.
According to police, the deceased has been identified as Irshad, a resident of Chimmasandra village. He hailed from Bihar and had come to the City a few years ago in search of a job.
Irshad moved to Chimmasandra village after he got a job at a nearby factory. He was staying with Sadique, who also hails from Bihar. Five youths from Assam stay next to Irshad’s shed.
The unpleasant incident came into view after a foul smell emanated from the house. Neighbours broke open the door and found Irshad strangled.
Police had a sneaking suspicion that Sadique, who is absconding, is involved in the crime. “The murder might have been prompted by an old rivalry. We are questioning his neighbours to get more clues,” police said.
