Belagavi, Feb 24: Almost a month after a soldier was reported missing following a trip to Gokak's Godchinamalaki falls, his wife and her lover - who was her car driver - were arrested in Belagavi for his murder.
Police said the accused, Prashant Patil, and two friends tried to throw Deepak Pattanadara, 32, off a cliff after slitting his throat. Deepak's wife, Anjali, had registered a missing case with police on February 4, saying her husband had gone on a trip with friends on January 28 and hadn't returned.
In a twist, Deepak's elder brother lodged a complaint at the same police station, alleging that Anjali was behind the disappearance.
Anjali and Prashant, both 26, were arrested on Saturday while Prashant's two friends are absconding. Deepak's decomposed body has been recovered.
Deepak, who was posted in Delhi and was on the verge of retirement after 14 years in the army, had suspected his wife's alleged affair, police said. He'd bought a car for Anjali in 2019, and since he was home only twice a year, he hired Prashant as the driver. Anjali and Prashant grew close but when Deepak asked Anjali about the affair, she denied it outright.
When Deepak came home during vacation, the duo planned to eliminate him, police said.

You are right
i think half of the Sampaje village comes under Sullia and half under Madikeri taluk. Am not 100% sure. CD team must clarify.
Sampaje situated at Sullya taluk of Dakshina Kannada, Madikeri is part of Coorg District. Please be careful while reporting.
