The accused was identified as Hemanth Dutt, 20, who had recently ordered a second-hand iPhone from an e-commerce platform.
When the phone was delivered to his home by the victim, Hemanth Naik, the accused asked him to wait inside while he went to get the money from another room. Instead, Hemanth allegedly returned with a knife and stabbed the delivery boy multiple times and killed him on spot.
The crime was later solved with the help of CCTV footage which showed that the accused had transported the victim’s body to a nearby railway station on his two-wheeler, and purchased petrol for burning it.
He was later arrested by Hassan Police following an investigation.
