The Chickballapur district police had to contend with a gory case when they came across a disturbing video of a man slitting the throat of another man and trying to drink his blood. The Kencharlahalli police on Saturday identified and arrested the accused. The victim survived the attack, the police said.
The accused, Vijay, 29, and the victim, Maresh, are both neighbours and work as goods vehicle drivers. Vijay suspected Maresh of having an affair with his wife as he had caught them texting over the phone, police investigation revealed.
On June 19, an enraged Vijay took Maresh to an isolated spot at Siddappalli, under the pretext of some work. Vijay’s brother John Babu also had accompanied them. There he confronted Maresh about the alleged affair, assaulted him, and slit his throat.
