Bengaluru: A gang of 12 people was arrested in connection with the brutal murder of a 35-year-old rowdy sheeter at a service apartment in Banaswadi Police Station limits.

According to the police, among those arrested, two were close aides of the rowdy sheeter, Dinesh Kumar.

The incident took place on Wednesday afternoon when Dinesh was waiting at the reception area of a hotel in Kammanahalli while his aides were making the payment.

He was surrounded by an armed gang who hacked him to death and escaped.

The police managed to pin down Dilip Sagar and Ajay Christopher, rowdysheeters in Kothanur and Rammurthy Nagar police station and the arch-rivals of Dinesh.

Dinesh, with multiple criminal cases pending against him, wanted to eliminate his arch-rivals and had rented a room to hatch a plan with his aides.

However, his aides doublecrossed him and passed on the information to Dilip and Ajay, who offered them money to help them kill Dinesh, said the police.

As per the plan, the duo, armed with weapons, arrived at the hotel where Dinesh was and hacked him to death.
