BENGALURU: Four men were arrested on Saturday from a Gandhinagar hotel here in connection with the murder of bar owner Manish Shetty late Thursday night. Soon after, two of them were shot at for allegedly attacking police when they were recovering machetes buried at a cemetery on Hosur Road.
Bike-borne assailants shot Shetty outside his bar off Brigade Road and then hacked him with machetes. Cops describe the firearm as a single-barrel breech loading gun. The accused — Shashikiran alias Munna, 44, and Nitya, 29, from Somavarpet; Ganesha, 39, and Akshay, 32 from Bantwal — had been planning the attack for four months, police said.
