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, Apr 24: The Karnataka Health Department is likely to shift the 119 accused in Padarayanapura violence to Bengaluru's Haj Bhavan from Ramnagar Jail.

This comes after two accused out of 121, who were shifted to Ramnagar jail, tested positive for coronavirus. They have been shifted to Victoria Hospital.

A ruckus erupted in Padarayanapura on Sunday allegedly over the shifting of 15 secondary contacts of corona positive patients to a quarantine facility by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) officials.

Padarayanapura is recognised as a 'red zone'. When BBMP officials went to shift the suspected COVID-19 patients, some people created a ruckus, broke a barricade and removed the police post in the area.

Bengalur, May 15: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Dr CN Ashwath Narayan on Friday said that stern action will be taken against the persons responsible for organising the village temple fair in Ramanagara district.

"Stern action will be taken against the person responsible for organising the festival. This should not have happened," the Deputy CM said.

Bengaluru, Jun 11: Within hours after claiming that it has decided to prohibit schools from schools from conducting online classes till Class 7, the Karnataka government has taken a U-turn and said that currently than ban is only till Class 5.

“Karnataka Govt has decided to stop all online classes for LKG, UKG & classes up to 5th std. To extend this up to 7th std is only a suggestion from few cabinet ministers as expressed in an informal discussion and NOT a decision,” tweeted Prime and Secondary Minister Suresh Kumar.

Law Minister J C Madhuswamy earlier today had stated that the decision to ban online classes till 7th standard was taken by the government.  "All of us were of the opinion that there were challenges faced by students studying in rural areas. Hence, we urged the government to extend the ban on online classes till 7 standard," he said
