Twelve men have been arrested for the brutal murder of Syed Shabbir in the city. Shabbir was attacked on January 12 by a gang that waylaid his autorickshaw, causing his death. Investigations reveal the murder was premeditated, and weapons have been seized for further inquiry.

Twelve individuals have been arrested in connection with the brutal murder of a known history-sheeter, Syed Shabbir, this month in the city, according to police statements made on Tuesday.

Shabbir, a 30-year-old man from Koramangala's jurisdiction, was killed on January 12 near Mangammanapalya Main Road, close to a Bandepalya police station petrol bunk, officials reported. The assailants intercepted Shabbir's autorickshaw, threw chilli powder in his eyes, and fatally attacked him.

A senior officer indicated that Shabbir, who was the son of a retired Karnataka State Reserve Police officer, controlled local settlements and extortion operations, leading to rivalries. The murder was a retaliatory act coordinated by the arrested gang. Law enforcement has seized the crime's weapons and vehicles, continuing their investigation.
