In a shocking incident, a security guard at an apartment building in HAL police station limits of Bengaluru on Wednesday attacked and killed a flat owner, who had objected to his drinking on duty. The deceased has been identified as Bhaskar Reddy, 65. The accused security guard is Basanth from Nepal, and he had been handed over to the police.

Reddy had found Basanthin an inebriated state and objected to it, warning him not to consume alcohol while on duty. He had also also complained the matter to the association of the apartments as the guard did not change his habits. There was a verbal duel between the two in this connection.
