Four individuals, including three juveniles, have been arrested in connection with the murder of 19‑year‑old BCom student Yogesh in Nagarabhavi on September 30.
The incident reportedly began over a dispute involving a senior female student. An argument escalated into a fatal clash, with police identifying Bhuvan as the prime accused. Bhuvan, who is currently absconding, is being sought by authorities.
Yogesh and Bhuvan were first‑year BCom students at a private college on Muddayanapalya Road. Bhuvan was said to be in love with a fellow student who rejected his advances, and Yogesh allegedly spoke negatively about her, which angered Bhuvan.
At 2 p.m. on September 30, Bhuvan allegedly called Yogesh to a spot near a gym behind the college. When Yogesh arrived, Bhuvan and his associates reportedly started a quarrel that escalated into a stabbing. Yogesh was found lying in a pool of blood and was rushed to a nearby private hospital, where he later died.
The Annapurneshwari Nagar Police Station registered a case following the investigation. Four persons have been arrested; three juveniles have been remanded to the state home for boys, while the adult accused is held for further inquiry. Police continue to search for Bhuvan.
