Naga was not killed by Vijay Kumar. The truth, revealed at the remand home, is that Naga was killed by Slum Shetty, Seena, and Indra at the behest of SI Ashwath. Ashwath suspected Vijay was Kavya's boyfriend and wanted to use the situation to humiliate Vijay's family.

Foreshadowing: This revelation completely reframes Vijay's motivations and shows the corruption among city power players.
