According to police, Shashank was in love with a girl, a distant relative from Mysuru. The parents from both sides were opposed to this. The victim had taken her to his home on July 3, when she had come to Bengaluru.
The parents and relatives of the girl, who came to know about this, had barged inside the house, attacked Shashank and took away the girl with them last Monday (July 10).
On Saturday, Shashank went to his college and was dropped by his father Ranganath. After finishing the college for the day, when Shahank was waiting for the bus, a gang of miscreants kidnapped him.
Police stated that the kidnappers tied his hands and legs, poured flammable substance and torched him. Somehow Shashank managed to douse the fire and with the help of people contacted his family.
Shashank suffered severe burn injuries all over the body.
The police have taken up the investigation.
More details are yet to emerge regarding the incident.
