Bengaluru: A Malayali youth was stabbed to death by hired goons here on Thursday.

The deceased was identified as Sanu Thomson, a native of Rajapuram in Kasaragod.

The 31-year-old was an employee of TATA in the Jigani Industrial Area on the city's outskirts.

The incident took place at 10:30 pm on Thursday while Thomson was returning to his residence.

However, it is understood that Thomson was not the intended target. His death was a case of mistaken identity.
