WATCH: Retired Intelligence Bureau officer run over by speeding car

New Delhi: In a brazen daylight murder, retired Intelligence Bureau (IB) officer RN Kulkarni was mowed down by a speeding car in the Manasa Gangotri area of Mysuru on Friday, November 4, 2022.

The incident, dismissed as a hit-and-run incident by the police initially was later revealed to be a planned murder by CCTV footage. The retired Intelligence Bureau (IB) officer, who was out an evening walk, was thrown into the air by the speeding vehicle before hitting the ground. He was rushed to a hospital but later succumbed to his injuries.

CCTV images also revealed that the car did not have a number plate. Although a case has been registered at the Jayalakshmi police station in Mysuru, the reason for the murder is yet to be deciphered.
