Twin Murders In Bengaluru: Suspect Had Hired 3 Men Including Kannada Rapper ‘Joker’ Felix

The Bengaluru police on Tuesday night nabbed the owner of a broadband company, Arun Kumar Azad, from the Kempegowda International Airport in connection with the twin murders reported from Hebbal-Kempapura earlier in the day, according to DH reports.

Azad, reportedly the owner of Gnet Broadband, was picked up soon after he flew in from Delhi around midnight. The reports further mentioned that the police had been tracking Azad's movements since the murders, and they were able to nab him as he was about to board a flight back to Delhi.

Twin Murders in Bengaluru: Suspect Had Hired 3 Men Including Kannada Rapper ‘Joker’ Felix

The police say that Azad is the prime suspect in the murders of Phanindra Subramanya, the managing director of fibernet company Aironics Media Pvt Ltd, and Vinu Kumar, the company's CEO. The two men were hacked to death at their company's office in Pampa Extension, Hebbal-Kempapura, on Tuesday afternoon.

The police say that Azad hired three men, including Kannada rapper and Instagram influencer 'Joker' Felix, to carry out the murders. Their targets were MD, CEO of the same fibernet company. The brutal incident occurred at the Aironics office in Pampa Extension, Hebbal-Kempapura, around 3:35 pm on Tuesday.

The three men are believed to have been motivated by business rivalry between Aironics and Gnet Broadband.

The police say that they have enough evidence to charge Azad and the other three men with murder. They are currently being questioned by the police, and more details are expected to emerge soon.

The police investigation has led them to believe that this rivalry was the driving force behind the cold-blooded murders.
