Nagamangala: In a diabolical act, a farmer was kidnapped and murdered by a miner for not letting out his farmland for mining activities in Nagamangala taluk. The deceased farmer has been identified as N.R. Mohan (31) of Naragalu village in the taluk.
Details: N.R. Mohan is said to have been kidnapped by a Tamil Nadu based miner and his associate, a former Gram Panchayat (GP)member when he went out to his farm for herding cattle on the afternoon on May 15. Subsequently his mother Vasanthamma went to the jurisdictional Bindiganavile Police Station to lodge a complaint the same night, when the Police did not respond. Later, Mohan’s wife Yamuna went to the Police Station the next morning (May 16) to lodge a kidnapping complaint along with proof. But the Bindiganavile Police refused to accept her version and instead filed a missing case after getting the complaint altered by Yamuna.
