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.
