Belagavi, Oct 4: The parents-in-law of Renu Suhas Killekar, former deputy mayor of Belagavi City Corporation (BCC), hanged themselves by a single rope in their apartment here on Monday morning.

While Narayan Killedar, 80, was a retired Indian Air Force employee, Vasundhara Killedar, 68, was a homemaker. According to police sources, Vasundhara had been disturbed for the past few months and that may have led the couple to take the extreme step. Khade Bazar police are investigating the cause after Narayan's son Suhas Killekar filed a complaint.

The couple was staying with Suhas son at the apartment on Goodshed Road. The couple locked the room of their son and daughter-in-law from outside and covered the CCTV camera with paper before committing suicide.

The security guard of the apartment saw the bodies hanging and informed the family. Renu Killekar of Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti (MES) is a two-time councillor and was a deputy mayor too. She also fought the assembly elections from Belagavi (North) constituency in 2013.

Bengaluru, April 3: The ASHA worker, who was attacked by locals in Sadiq layout area in Bengaluru while conducting a coronavirus survey, on Friday expressed satisfaction with police action in the matter.

"I am happy that five people have been arrested for attacking me while I was conducting a survey in view of COVID-19 in Sadiq layout area in Bengaluru on April 1. We serve the people and work for the betterment of the society," Krishnaveni, the ASHA worker, told news agency here.

ASHA workers, who were deployed to spread awareness about coronavirus and identify suspected cases, were allegedly attacked by a group of locals in the area on Wednesday.

"We had been conducting surveys for the past 14 days ever since a positive coronavirus case was identified in the area. A person came and asked why we were gathering information. We informed him that a positive case was identified in the area," Krishnaveni said.

"They made an announcement from the mosque not to give any information to us. Afterwards, several people came out of their houses and started attacking us," she added.
