On October 25, a martial arts trainer from Kerala, Manoj Kumar, and his wife Aarati Sharma were arrested for murdering Darshan, a 24-year-old food delivery agent, in Bengaluru. The incident began with a minor road accident where Darshan's scooter brushed against Kumar’s car, damaging its rear-view mirror. In response to this, Kumar chased Darshan, deliberately ramming his vehicle into the scooter, which resulted in Darshan's death and led to a hit-and-run case filed by his sister. CCTV footage revealed that the couple returned to the scene later to collect broken parts of their car. The police have remanded them to 14-day judicial custody based on their confession and evidence from surveillance cameras.
