22-year-old who came out on bail in POCSO case found dead; he was murdered, say relatives

BENGALURU: A 22-year-old who recently came out on bail in a POCSO case was found dead in Bengaluru. The deceased has been identified as Bengaluru native Sathyakumar. Sampangiram Nagar police said that his body was recovered from a building on Mission Road. The incident happened last night.

Sathya was in love with a minor girl. Both of them had eloped a year and a half ago. However, he was soon arrested by the police after the girl's relatives filed a police complaint. He was released on bail one month ago. The young man, who lived with his parents at his home in Bengaluru, went missing on Thursday. Following this, his relatives informed the police. After some time, some locals found him lying dead in the building.

Meanwhile, Sathya's relatives are alleging that the family of the girl is behind Sathya's death. The preliminary conclusion is that the young man was drunk and reached the building when it was raining. The police also informed that they could not find any marks or injuries on Sathya's body. The police have registered a case of unnatural death and launched an investigation.
