A 20-year-old push cart vendor was found murdered in a park in Bengaluru [1].
The discovery has prompted an active police investigation to determine the motive and identify the perpetrator behind the killing. Because the victim was a young worker in the city's informal economy, the incident raises concerns regarding safety in public spaces.
