A 20-year-old man in Hassan, Karnataka, stabbed an E-Kart delivery person as he was unable to pay for the iPhone he had bought. The tragic incident occurred on February 7 in Arasikere, Hassan.
According to police sources, the accused, who has been arrested, had stored the victim's body in a gunny bag at his home for three days before he managed to shift it out and burn it.
According to the police, Hemanth Dutt, 20, had recently ordered a second-hand iPhone on an e-commerce portal.
