BBM student found dead in lake

BANGALORE: A 20-year-old second-year BBM student of Lora college in BTM Layout, was found dead in Tattagere lake, Harohalli, on Monday morning.
Passersby alerted Harohalli police on seeing the floating body at 8am. With the help of his college identity card, the cops identified the deceased as Anjanappa Venkatesh , resident of Jigade village near Anekal.
According to Anjanappa’s father Venkateshappa and mother Ratnamma, their son left for college on Saturday morning. “Like any other day, he took a private bus to college . It’s only when he failed to return in the evening that we got worried. His mobile phone too was switched off,” Venkateshappa, a small-time farmer, told Harohalli police.
Besides his parents, Anjanappa is survived by two elder brothers who work in private factories. Venkateshappa suspects that Anjanappa might have been murdered. “There are injuries on his neck, hand and legs. But I have no idea of any enemies as he was an innocent boy,” he said Police said they have registered a case of suspicious death. “It could be a case of suicide also. The injuries seem to have occurred as fishes had eaten body parts. We are waiting for the autopsy report to determine the exact cause of death” .
