A tragic incident has unfolded in Shivamogga, where a man who sustained grave injuries during an alleged assault on October 2, unfortunately passed away at a private hospital this Sunday.
The victim, 34-year-old Amzad, was reportedly attacked by a group of individuals in the RML Nagar area of the city last Thursday. Despite receiving medical care, doctors confirmed that he did not respond to treatment.
Doddapete police have swiftly launched an investigation into the alleged assault, leading to the arrest of five suspects.
