**Textile Feud Turns Deadly: Bengaluru Police Foil Contract Killing**

**Bengaluru, September 24, 2025** – A simmering business rivalry between two textile merchants on Bagalagunte Main Road has taken a dark turn, with Bengaluru police intervening to prevent a contract killing.

Police arrested Vinod Kumar Jaat, 40, a contract killer from Rajasthan, before he could carry out a planned assassination of Nemaram, a local textile shop owner. The arrest was made after Jaat, in a drunken state, contacted Nemaram to warn him of the impending hit. This tip-off allowed police to trace Jaat back to his native Pali district.

Further investigation led to the arrest of Venaram, a businessman with a shop adjacent to Nemaram’s. Police allege that Venaram paid Jaat ₹5 lakh to eliminate Nemaram. According to authorities, Venaram’s business had been struggling, exacerbated by Nemaram’s success in poaching staff with higher salaries.

“The investigation reveals a clear motive rooted in business jealousy and financial desperation,” said a police spokesperson. “Venaram, feeling threatened by Nemaram’s prosperity, allegedly resorted to hiring a known criminal to resolve his issues.”

Authorities revealed that Jaat had previously attempted to attack Nemaram, who escaped without realizing he was the intended target. Jaat has multiple criminal cases pending against him.

Both Vinod Kumar Jaat and Venaram are currently in police custody and are expected to face charges related to attempted murder and conspiracy. The investigation is ongoing.
