The Attack: A Trail of Destruction
Midnight Revenge
A little past midnight on Sunday, Rahul, accompanied by an associate, rode on a motorcycle to his ex-girlfriend’s father’s residence. Infuriated, he stood outside the apartment, screaming accusations against the father, blaming him for his breakup. However, upon finding no one at home, he proceeded to the parking area and set his ex-girlfriend’s brother’s bike on fire.
Further Escalation at Another Location
Not stopping there, Rahul then rushed to another apartment complex in Arehalli, where his ex-girlfriend lived with her mother. Entering the building’s basement, he ignited another vehicle—a car owned by his ex-girlfriend’s mother. The fire spread, causing damage to another car parked nearby.
Criminal Background of the Accused
Rahul, also known as ‘Star’ Rahul, has a notorious reputation with a long list of criminal offenses. His record includes more than a dozen cases, including attempted murder and drug peddling. In 2022, he was even shot at by the police while trying to evade arrest.
Security Guard Assaulted During the Attack
While committing the arson, Rahul was confronted by a security guard who attempted to stop him. However, Rahul violently attacked the guard and managed to flee the scene before authorities arrived.
Police Investigation and Ongoing Manhunt
Following the incident, three cases have been registered against Rahul at the Subrahmanyapura police station. Authorities have launched an extensive search operation to track him down and ensure he is brought to justice.
This shocking case of revenge-driven arson has raised concerns about law enforcement and public safety in Bengaluru. With Rahul still on the run, police efforts to capture him continue.
