On June 27, 2024, police in Bengaluru arrested Shruthi Rao, identified by authorities as a close associate of Udupi entrepreneur Aravind Kumar, in connection with a murder that took place in Goa the previous month.
Aravind Kumar, who runs a beverage import business and owns several hotels in Udupi, allegedly had a dispute that escalated after a financial disagreement in a local casino. The victim, a 45‑year‑old Goan, was found dead in his bungalow with no obvious cause of death, prompting investigations into possible foul play and the entrepreneur’s alleged involvement in the dispute.
The arrest has unsettled the Udupi business community, raising concerns about the stability of services linked to Kumar’s enterprises. Legal authorities are intensifying scrutiny over financial transactions between the entrepreneur and individuals associated with the case. Source: Google News – Udupi.
