Mysuru, Mar 2: In a fresh case of so called honour killing, a casteist man belonging to Vokkaliga community killed his own daughter for being in love with a boy belonging to Dalit community at Gollanabeedu village in HD Kote taluk of Mysuru district.

The victim has been identified as Sushma (22), daughter of Kumar who was arrested by police on Thursday on charge of poisoning the former to death and later burning her body secretly in the field.

Sushma, who was in love with Umesh, a resident of Alanahalli village on the outskirts of Mysuru, had eloped with him two years ago. A few village elders had brought the girl back to the village after advising both Umesh and Sushma to stay away from each other.

Sushma’s parents recently asked her to marry a boy from their community. However, she opposed the marriage and was adamant on marrying only Umesh. In a fit of rage, her parents had allegedly poisoned her on February 22 and burnt her body in their field. They had even ploughed their land so that the villagers do not doubt them. As Sushma disappeared suddenly, it raised suspicion among the villagers. Her relatives alerted the police, after which the incident came to light.

Police, who arrested Kumar, brought him to the land where he had burnt the body of his daughter, and conducted a mahazar. Additional SP Rudramuni said that one of the constables, who came to know that Kumar had killed his daughter and burnt the body, immediately brought it to the notice of the higher officials. A suo motu case was registered and a probe conducted, he said.

Gadag, May 9: It is the month of April, and the season of mangoes is very much here. However, the mango farmers of Gadag are suffering huge losses amid the coronavirus lockdown due to the absence of transportation facilities along with several other issues that have been impacting their business adversely.

Speaking to media persons, Vishwanath Odugowdar, a mango farmer said, "Due to transportation problems we are not being able to export mangoes to different countries. We are trying to sell them in nearby markets."

"We are not in a situation to pack, transport and export the mangoes to different countries as we did earlier especially 
when it comes to Alphonso mangoes which is one of the most loved varieties. So, we are packing mangoes at our place. Somehow this year we have got very good quality of mangoes," he added.

Farmers here are incurring huge losses as mandis and markets across the country are shut while the transport of Alphonso mangoes has also come to a halt owing to the lockdown.

The small and medium scale farmers in places like Gadag, Dharwad, Bagalkote in north Karnataka have started packing the mangoes themselves in their farms in a bid to sell the fruit themselves.
