Officials said RK Kulkarni was taking a stroll at Manasagangotri campus of Mysuru University on Friday evening when a car rammed into him from the front. The number plate of the car was removed so that the horrific act could be carried out without being identified.
While initially it was thought to be a hit-and-run case, when CCTV footage of the incident was examined, it turned out to be a deliberate act, police officials said.
The video clip shows a speeding car driving towards the 82-year-old man who was on his regular walk. The car driver then rams into him and speeds away from the spot.
“After inquiry, we arrived at the conclusion that it was not an accident, but planned murder,” said Mysuru police commissioner Chandragupta.
“It was a narrow lane not taken by many four-wheelers. It seems the accused had been following Mr Kulkarni,” an official said.
