As per the initial report, the death of the 82-year-old former Intelligence Bureau (IB) official, which was previously thought to be a car accident, now appears to be a well-planned murder. RK Kulkarni, a former IB officer, was discovered dead on Friday night in Mysuru's Manas Gangotri neighbourhood after taking his customary nightly stroll there.
At first, it was thought to be a hit-and-run event, however CCTV evidence retrieved from the area around the scene reveals that a car intentionally ran him over. Since they believe it to be a murder, the police have now begun looking for that car. The motive for the murder is currently unknown.
23 years prior, RK Kulkarni had retired.
The 83-year-old victim was killed after being struck by a car in an accident that occurred on November 4 at 5.30 pm in Manasa Gangotri, according to Chandragupta, the police commissioner of Mysuru..
