Hiriyadka: In a major boost to the morale of local police, the team investigating the double murder case of a young mother and 10-year-old daughter have arrested the accused within 48 hours of the murder. The young woman identified as Cheluvi and her daughter were found murdered on May 8 at their residence at Mullagujje, Atradi here.
The arrested accused has been identified as Harish R aka Ganesha (29), a distant relative of late Cheluvi, police sources said.
The case was being investigated by a team of police officials led by Brahmavar Circle Police Inspector Anantha Padmanabha and comprised of Hiriyadka SI Anil B Madara, Kota SI Madhu BE, Probationary SI Manjunath, and Ravi B Karagi and staffs Raghavendra and Nitin.
According to the police investigation, Harish was taking advantage of Cheluvi’s widowhood while pestering her to marry him. He was also visiting her house frequently. However, it is learned that Harish was already married and had two children.

Elephant calf brought from Bijnor kept under care at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.
The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.
The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.
On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.
Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.
It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.
He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.
According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
