According to a report by NDTV, the accused, identified as Shafi, a resident of Birur in Chikkamagaluru district, is suspected of killing his friend Puttaraju, a professional welder, for financial gain.
Police officials said the crime occurred on February 19, when Shafi allegedly lured Puttaraju under the pretext of participating in a gold auction reportedly organised by a finance company.
