The deceased has been identified as 22-year-old Suresh, hailing from Sagar in Shimoga.
His body was found lying on the lane running adjacent to a building complex near Nehru Maidan on Wednesday. Suresh had reportedly checked into a room he had rented in the same building along with two others on Sunday.
It is said that the security guard of the building had found the body of Suresh and alerted others.
It has been learnt that Suresh was staying in a rented room in Singala Chambers with two of his companions. He claimed that he and his companions made astrological predictions.
As advised by the staff in the building, Suresh and his two companions shifted to another larger room on Monday to join four other occupants.
On Wednesday, the security guard had left the building in the evening and returned around 9 p.m. While checking the surroundings of the building he saw a body lying limp in the lane and immediately informed the owners of the building.
Later it was found that Suresh had been murdered, as his body bore a deep wound on the head. He is suspected to have been struck hard on his head with a heavy object which resulted in lot of bleeding.
The police are investigating the case and interrogating the other occupants who shared the room with Suresh.
A case has been registered in this regard at Bunder police station.
