The Story in Brief
An 18-year-old youth was found dead near Bellandur Lake in Bengaluru early Friday. The victim, identified as Agrojith L Mallik, a native of West Bengal, was allegedly killed by smashing his head with a stone before the assailants fled. Passersby alerted police around 6.50 am.
Bellandur police have sent the body for postmortem and launched a search for the accused. The motive behind the murder is not yet known.
The Indian Opinion
Another body found next to Bengaluru's Bellandur Lake, this time a young man beaten to death. Headlines will focus on law and order, but that misses the point: the lake itself is a crime scene, with encroachment and pollution unchecked for years. The real test is whether police investigate this as an isolated murder or connect it to the wider pattern of violence that festers when civic space rots. Will the lake's custodian agencies even be asked if they saw anything?
