In the glaring light of day, a 26-year-old individual met a violent demise at the hands of a gang of thugs wielding an iron rod and a brick, raining blows upon his head in Thiruvananthapuram on a fateful Friday evening. The victim, identified as Akhil, hailing from Karamana, became embroiled in a deadly altercation stemming from a recent bar brawl, according to the authorities at Karamana Police.
Under the cloak of dusk, three assailants forcibly abducted Akhil from his residence, transporting him to Kymanam, Thiruvananthapuram, within the confines of a vehicle. Upon reaching the Kymanam junction, they abruptly halted their conveyance, dragging him out and unleashing a vicious barrage of strikes upon his skull with an iron implement. The fatal assault culminated in the hurling of a brick at his head multiple times, before the perpetrators swiftly departed the scene, leaving behind a trail of terror.
Simultaneously, the horrifying spectacle of the savage attack was captured by a surveillance camera positioned nearby. Law enforcement authorities have obtained the footage and initiated a thorough investigation to apprehend the perpetrators responsible for this heinous act. The bustling activity of the adjacent street’s traffic, captured in the background of the CCTV footage, serves as a chilling backdrop to the unfolding tragedy. Despite the valiant efforts of bystanders to rush the gravely injured Akhil to Thiruvananthapuram Medical College, his injuries proved fatal, and he was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Akhil, known for operating a pet shop specializing in ornamental fish in close proximity to his residence in Karamana, was seemingly ensnared in a fatal confrontation with the assailants. The authorities have already made headway in identifying the culprits, thanks to the incriminating evidence captured on the CCTV footage.
