A 20-year-old man reportedly murdered a delivery agent in Karnataka's Hassan district as he was unable to pay for the iPhone he had ordered. The accused, identified as Hemanth Datta, had booked a second-hand Apple iPhone. On 7th February 2023 Hemanth Naik, worked at Ekart Logistics, and he went to deliver the phone booked by Datta. When 23-year-old Naik asked for the money, reported to be around Rs 46,000, Datta asked him to open the package, which Naik refused, stating if it were opened, he wouldn't be able to take it back. Datta then stabbed Naik to death inside his home after telling him to wait while he went to get the money. Datta reportedly also worked at an e-commerce firm but had quit his job. So, when Naik came to deliver the iPhone, Dutta did not have the money and decided to kill him. He kept Naik's mobile phone, the iPhone he came to deliver, and also other articles which he was supposed to deliver to others.
Meanwhile Naik's brother Manjunath Naik filed a missing persons report on 8th February 2023. While the cops were still searching for Hemanth, a charred body was found on 11th February 2023 after which an investigation was launched. Also a friend of the victim's brother informed him on 16th February 2023 that a body was found near a railway bridge, which reportedly raised suspicion that it could be Naik. The victim's brother then filed another complaint, claiming that his brother had called on the morning of 7th February 2023. Furthermore, he claimed that Naik's colleague had called him at 1:42 pm on the same day, but his phone had been turned off. The Arasikere Town Police began tracing Naik's phone location and discovered it was last seen at Datta's house. Based on this, a team of cops raided the accused's home and discovered the victim's phone and other items. The suspect allegedly kept the body at home for four days before burning it near the Anchkoppal Railway Station. CCTV footage also showed the 20-year-old accused carrying the victim's body on his bike to burn it. A murder case has been registered against Datta, and he has reportedly been remanded to judicial custody.
