If he had to do so, he would have to shut down his business. It was then that Hemanth planned to wipe out Mohan," he said.
On February 27, at around 8.30 pm, Hemanth kidnapped Mohan near Tata Motors to the West of Chord Road, Second Block.
He took Mohan in his Safari to Anjanapura of Ramanagar taluk and slit his throat with a knife.
He then drove with the body to a forest near Huliyurdurga Hobli's R Byadarahalli village. There he poured petrol on the body and set it ablaze.
When Hemanth was questioned by the police, he spilled the beans and led the police to the place where he had burnt Mohan's body.
