A series of tragic events unfolded in Karnataka’s Davangere district this week, resulting in two deaths and an arrest. A 30-year-old man allegedly died by suicide after his wife eloped with another man, and the woman’s brother-in-law, who had arranged the marriage, also allegedly took his own life following the news.
Details of the Incident
Harish, 30, of Gummanuru, and Rudresh, 36, of Anekonda, are the deceased. Saraswati, Harish’s wife, has been arrested Wednesday on charges of abetment of suicide. The events began when Saraswati reportedly left home, telling family members she was going to a temple, but instead eloped with a man named Kumar.
