On June 19, Vijay took Maresh to a nearby forest where he attacked him. Vijay’s friend, John, who was accompanying them, recorded the crime on his mobile phone.
The police has arrested Vijay, a trader from Mandyampet, for attempting to murder Maresh, a fellow villager, in his early 30s. They have launched a search for Vijay’s cousin John Babu, who allegedly filmed the incident.
Vijay’s motive stemmed from his intense anger over the growing proximity between Maresh and his wife, the police said. “The attack occurred near Siddepalli
Cross in the Chintamani taluk on June 19 and was recorded by Vijay’s cousin. Maresh survived the assault as Vijay used a small knife that did not cause significant damage. Police investigations revealed that Maresh and Vijay’s wife had been constantly communicating via phone, fuelling Vijay’s rage,” said an officer.
Vijay hails from Andhra Pradesh and moved to Chintamani around 30 years back. His family used to sell edible oil, vegetables, and essentials. Vijay had hired Maresh, who owned a Tata Ace vehicle, to transport his goods at times.
Vijay’s wife and Maresh got close and would exchange messages at times. Vijay had warned Maresh to not be in contact with his wife which the latter refused to comply.
Further investigation is underway
