Bengaluru: 22-year-old 'drunk' student stabs to death college guard for refusing entry

A 22-year-old student was arrested by the police in Bengaluru for stabbing a 52-year-old college security guard.

The accused, who has been identified as Bhargav Jyothi Burman, stabbed Jai Kishan Roy to death for not letting him enter the college citing that he was drunk.

The incident happened on Wednesday at the main gate of Sindhi College in Kempapura during the institution's annual day function. Burman is a third-year BA student at the college.

While checking for visitors, Roy sensed that Burman was trying to enter the premises drunk. A heated exchange ensued between the two, following which Burman left and purchased a knife from a nearby ship.

The accused then came to the campus and attacked Roy repeatedly and tried to flee the spot.

But other security guards chased Burman and pinned him down until the police were called in.

According to media reports, police have taken Burman's blood sample and sent it to the FSL to check whether he was drunk.

According to the Hindu newspaper, Roy hailed from Bihar and has been working in the college for the past 10 years.

The deceased's family has claimed that the management’s negligence led to the murder as Roy was not provided with any safety measures.
