A man was brutally beaten to death with a car jack rod in Bengaluru, with the shocking incident captured on CCTV, police said on Tuesday. The हत्या took place in the Ramamurthy Nagar area on Monday night, sending shockwaves across the locality and prompting swift police action.

The victim, identified as Kiran, was allegedly involved in a financial dispute with two men, Yuvaraj and Kangaraju. According to preliminary police investigations, all three individuals had been consuming alcohol prior to the incident.
