Karnataka man strangles daughter over love affair, distraught lover commits suicide
Bengaluru/IBNS: A 20-year-old woman in Bengaluru was killed by his father as she was planning to marry his lover who belonged to a different cast. Her death also left the distraught lover to commit suicide as he jumped in front of an oncoming train.
The murder accused-Krishnamurti, a resident of Bangarpet in Kolar Gold Fields (KGF), used to have frequent fights with his daughter Kirti as she wanted to marry 24-year-old Gangadhar, who belonged to another caste.
On Tuesday morning, Krishnamurti tried to convince Kirti once again to end her relationship with Gangdhar, leading to a fight between the father and daughter, said a police official.
As the fight escalated, Krishnamurti strangled Kirti to death and then hung her body from a fan to make it appear as a suicide.
When the police were alerted, they suspected Kirti had been murdered and began questioning Krishnamurti.
According to the police, on finding out about Kirti's death, an inconsolable Gangadhar, who works as a mason, went to the railway tracks nearby and jumped in front of an oncoming train, dying on the spot.
Krishnamurti has been arrested for murder under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code.
