A 25-year-old gym trainer, identified as Nandan, was allegedly beaten to death in Bengaluru following a dispute during an overnight stay at a client’s apartment, police confirmed. Four individuals have been taken into custody in connection with the fatal assault.
## Altercation at Kempapura Flat
The shocking incident unfolded in the early hours of Sunday at a flat in Kempapura. According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (Northeast) Mithun Kumar, Nandan, who lived in Jakkuru Layout in Yelahanka and worked at a gym in Sahakara Nagar, had accompanied three gym colleagues to spend the night at the residence of their client, Anush.
Nandan’s fellow employees—Vishwanatha, Sharath, and Nishanth—were also present, along with Anush. The group had gone to the flat following an anniversary celebration at the gym late Saturday evening. The altercation reportedly began between 7:00 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. as personal differences escalated to violence.
## Casualties and Arrests
During the physical confrontation, Nandan suffered grievous injuries. He was swiftly shifted to a private hospital in Hebbal, but succumbed to his wounds despite resuscitation efforts. Vishwanatha and Sharath sustained minor injuries.
Authorities identified the four accused as Vishwanatha, Sharath, Nishanth, and Anush. Vishwanatha, Sharath, and Nishanth worked alongside Nandan at the same gym, while Anush was both their client and trainee. Vishwanatha also served as Anush’s personal trainer.
