Police in Bengaluru on Thursday, 17 October, said that they have solved the sensational murder case of former Vice Chancellor of Alliance University D Ayyappa Dore within 48 hours of the crime and arrested two persons including the present Chancellor.
The accused in custody are Sudhir G Angur, Chancellor of Alliance University and Suraj Singh, an executive at the same university. According to police, Suraj Singh had allegedly carried out the crime at the behest of Sudhir to prevent his brother Madhukar from gaining control in the university.
Ayyapa Dore was seemingly shifting his allegiance towards Madhukar which allegedly prompted Sudhir to plot the crime.
What was the Case?
Ayyappa Dore was found dead on Wednesday after he was allegedly hacked to death at RT Nagar's HMT Ground.
According to the police, Ayyappa left his residence in RT Nagar on Tuesday night for a walk after dinner at around 11:30 pm.
His body was found in a pool of blood around 6 am on Wednesday morning at the HMT Ground, which is less than fifty metres away from his residence and from the jurisdictional police station.
Dore also had political ambitions and had floated the Jana Samanyara Party in 2017 and unsuccessfully contested in Muddebihal constituency in Vijayapura district in the 2018 Assembly elections.
