Bengaluru: A 60-year-old man was tragically killed at a timber yard in South Bengaluru after confronting a colleague who had been harassing his daughter.
The deceased has been identified as Shaik Afsal. The accused, 24-year-old Suryaprakash, worked alongside Afsal at the timber yard, which is owned by Afsal's elder brother and located on Outer Ring Road in Kumaraswamy Layout.
According to police reports, Suryaprakash, who resides in the same locality, had started meeting Afsal's 32-year-old daughter, a single mother of two. Afsal had learned that Suryaprakash, an alcoholic, was pressuring his daughter to marry him. Although Afsal had repeatedly warned him over the past three months, Suryaprakash continued to make unwelcome advances toward his daughter.
