An excavation in Karnataka’s Hassan has uncovered a murder mystery that lay hidden underground for two years. The murder unravelled after the death of Gangadhar, 55, due to illness on August 2 in Santebasavanahalli village under the Alur taluk of the Hassan district.
Gangadhar had two sons — Raghavendra, 32, who worked with the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC), and Rupesh, who stayed at home.
Following Gangadhar’s death, relatives started reaching out to Raghavendra, his elder son, but they could not contact him even as Rupesh handled the funeral arrangements. However, their relatives became suspicious.
