Vijayapura, Nov 8: In an alleged case of honour killing, a three-month pregnant woman was murdered by her own family members in Yelgur village of Basavanabagewadi taluk in Karnataka’s Vijayapura district on Tuesday.

The deceased has been identified as Renuka (22) who belonged to the Kuruba community and a native of Manvi town in Raichur district.

According to the Nidagundi Police, who have registered a case, the woman married Shankar (24), who belongs to the Lambani (Scheduled Castes) community, of Deodurg town in Raichur district two years ago against the wishes of her family.

The couple had eloped and had come to stay in Yelgur village here. Shankar has a mobile phone repair shop in Nidagundi town. The woman, who reportedly missed her family after staying away from them for two years, had called her mother Maremma Pujari (60) and asked her to visit her.

Having found the address of her daughter after two years, the woman arrived in the village a week ago along with her elder son Mallikarjun (35) and the husband of her younger daughter Ramesh Guli (24).

The three first tried to convince her to break the marriage despite knowing that the woman was pregnant, the police said.

But when she did not heed, the three killed her by slitting her throat when her husband was away in his shop, the police added. The police have detained the three accused.

Bengaluru, May 30: People travelling to Bengaluru by flight or train must pay to get their Covid-19 tests done at designated private labs.

This is being done to improve the participation of private labs that have been approved by the Indian Council of Medical Research to do testing. Many of these labs are running at sub-optimal levels.

The new rule will also help the special categories of passengers and their attendants to leave early for home quarantine after giving the sample once the swab collection centres are established at airports and railway stations. The nodal officers at these places will coordinate in establishing the swab collection centres.

Each test will cost Rs 650 per sample. XCyton Diagnostics will cater to air passengers. Rail passengers will be tested at Neuberg Anand Reference Laboratory, Cancyte Technologies Pvt Ltd, Aster Labs, Narayana Hrudayalaya, Vydehi Hospital and Syngene International Ltd.

Bengaluru, Aug 4: As the stage is set for the ground-breaking ceremony for Ram temple construction at Ayodhya on Wednesday, retired Supreme Court judge N Santosh Hegde has called for the promotion of religious harmony and peaceful coexistence and respect for different faiths.

"It is a good idea to make that as an object of the temple so that there can be peace in the world," the former Solicitor General of India said when asked if the temple should be promoted as a symbol of national integration, and social and communal harmony.

Hegde said one of the most dangerous things for conflict today is religion. "In that background, there should be some effort from somebody or other to bring about peaceful coexistence, respecting each religion," the former Karnataka Lokayukta told PTI on Tuesday. "It is a good idea to start Bhumi Pujan as an indicator of that or foundation for developing harmony among various religions," he added.

The Supreme Court had in November last year paved the way for the construction of a Ram temple by a Trust at the disputed site of the Babri Masjid's demolition in Ayodhya. It also directed the Centre to allot an alternative 5- acre plot to the Sunni Waqf Board for building a new mosque at a "prominent" place in the holy town in Uttar Pradesh. The Uttar Pradesh government has allotted a five-acre land in Dhannipur village in Sohaval Tehsil of Ayodhya for the mosque's construction.
