According to news reports, Nazeer (21) was travelling with his friend Pooja (age not disclosed) in an auto-rickshaw that was waylaid near Siribagilu village on the Mangaluru-Bengaluru national highway.
The goons later identified as Theertha Prasad, Jithesh, Surendra reportedly stopped the vehicle and asked the couple their names.
