Bangalore, November 29: An aspiring Kannada film actress was allegedly attacked by her live-in partner at her Judicial Layout residence in the City on Tuesday.

Sowmya, who has acted in “Huduga Hudugi”, a comedy, was living with Anil Kumar alias Rahul (28), a dismissed DAR constable. Police said he stabbed Sowmya, suspecting fidelity.

Severely injured on neck, right hand, stomach and abdomen, Sowmya is battling for life at Baptist hospital. Anil, who is married to Rajani and has a child, moved in with Sowmya after they got to know each other when their lines crossed while they were speaking on mobile.

The two have been living in a house at Judicial Layout since 2009. Anil had moved for a divorce with his wife, and Sowmya had funded the legal proceedings, police said.

Things turned sour when Anil started pestering Sowmya to marry him.

The relationship worsened after Anil started doubting her movements, prompting Sowmya to move out of the house.

On Tuesday afternoon, Anil flew into a rage when he saw Sowmya talking to two of her male friends.

He attacked her with a knife and stabbed her many times. She was rushed to the hospital by her friends.

Sowmya was administered treatment and her blood pressure and pulse rate were normal by late night, Dr Naveen Thomas of Baptist Hospital said.

Her condition, however, remained unstable and she had to be admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the hospital, he added.

High drama

Alerted about the incident, police rushed to Anil’s house to arrest him. Seeing policemen approaching his house, Anil bolted the front door and warned them to stay away. He threatened that he would commit suicide by blasting the LPG cylinder at home. The police broke open a window glass pane to open the rear door to enter the house to take him into custody.

Anil attempted to cut his abdomen with the knife and suffered some injuries, but the policemen overpowered him and took him into custody. Anil was treated as outpatient at a hospital and the Police booked him for attempt to murder and suicide.

Anil was posted at Kushalnagar near Madikeri and in mid 2002, he was deputed to Yelahanka police training centre for training. Once he landed in the City, Anil did not return to Kushalnagar, forcing the department to terminate him, a senior police officer informed.

Anil told the Yelahanka police that although he was dedicated to Sowmya, she was two-timing him with a man named Naveen.

Amaravati, Jul 31: Nine people have died after allegedly consuming sanitiser in Prakasam district of Andhra Pradesh today, the police said.

Prakasam district Superintendent of Police Siddharth Kaushal said the people had been consuming sanitiser for the past few days, mixing it with water and soft drinks.

"We are also investigating whether they laced the sanitiser with any other toxic substances," the official said.

"Their family members say these people have been consuming sanitiser for the past ten days. We are sending the sanitiser stocks, being sold in the area, for examination," he added.

Kurichedu in Prakasam district has been under lockdown due to rise in coronavirus cases and hence, liquor shops have also been shut since the past few days.

Habitual drinkers were said to be consuming sanitisers that have alcohol content, apart from illicitly distilled arrack.

The police said two beggars near a temple were the first to fall victim on Thursday night. While one of them was found dead at the spot, another died in the government hospital in Darsi town, they said.

A third person was also taken to the Darsi hospital late on Thursday night after he fell unconscious but he was declared brought dead. Six others who fell ill after allegedly consuming sanitiser, died this morning.

Others who fell ill after consuming sanitiser are undergoing treatment at their residences in the village, the police added.

Hyderabad, May 25: Indicating foul play in the death of nine people, including six of a family, whose bodies were fished out from a well near Warangal, a forensic expert on Sunday virtually ruled out suicide theory, saying it appeared seven of them had been dragged and thrown into the water body.

Mystery shrouded the death of nine people, including six of a family, whose bodies were found in a well, five of them on Friday and four on Thursday, on the outskirts of Warangal in Telangana.

Police stepped up the probe and forensic analysis was also underway in the case.

The forensic expert, who visited the crime scene as part of the investigation citing preliminary tests, said that the seven of nine people had scratch injuries and appeared to have been "dragged" and "thrown" into the well.

Forensic reports are expected in 10 days, the forensic expert told media on Sunday adding after examining the crime scene it appears that the deaths were not suicides.

"We have preserved all organs and the same were sent to forensic science laboratory (FSL) for examination... some two or three persons might have been involved in the crime. There are scratch injuries on the bodies," he said.

"It appears that they were thrown into the water... There were no injuries on the child's body. We are awaiting the forensic report (to ascertain) whether they were poisoned. It didn't appear as if they committed suicide," the expert, who performed the post-mortem said.

Police sources said at least two people were picked up for questioning.

Bodies of the head of the family, wife, daughter and three-year old grandson were found floating and fished out on Thursday.

On Friday morning, some bodies were seen floating following which police pumped out the water from the well and found others.

The 48-year old man had migrated from West Bengal over 20 years ago and had settled down here. His family had been staying in two rooms on the premises of the unit, police had earlier said.
