India, March 3 -- Three people have been arrested for the murder of a 40-year-old man who was found dead inside a rented house in Bengaluru's Manjunath Nagar, police said on Monday.

The body of Mohan Rao was discovered about three days before the arrests were announced, within the jurisdiction of the Bagalagunte police station.

The accused were identified as Urmila, also known as Bindu, Vinay and Dhanush Gowda, said deputy commissioner of police (north west), DL Nagesh.

"All three have already been arrested and taken into custody, and the investigation is being continued," he said.

He added that murder came to light nearly 12 days after the fact, when neighbours detected a foul smell coming from the house and called the police. Office...
