Autopsy on man’s exhumed body reveals truth behind his death; wife, her lover arrested for murder
Bengaluru: A 46-year-old woman, identified as P Asha, and her lover have been arrested after an autopsy on the exhumed body of her husband revealed that, unlike her claim, he did not die of a heart attack but was strangulated.
Police have arrested Asha, who worked as a house-keeper, and her lover Chandrappa (48), a cook, under charges of murdering Asha’s husband K Paramesh (50), at the latter’s house in Hebbur in Tumakuru district.
Paramesh is said to have discovered the extramarital affair Asha had with Chandrappa, which led the lovers to decide to eliminate him, police sources have said. Paramesh, who was an alcoholic, was known to consume a few pegs every night. On January 29 night, when he went to bed, Asha and Chandrappa strangulated him to death.
The next morning, Asha called her relatives and informed them that her husband had died of heart attack, after which, Paramesh’s body was buried.
On March 4, however, Paramesh’s elder sister K Nagamma filed a police complaint, expressing suspicion over the cause of her brother’s death.
An investigating officer has said that Nagamma grew suspicious since Asha remained unaffected by her husband’s death and was close to Chandrappa. When Nagamma asked Asha for details about Paramesh’s death, she found Asha giving contradictory statements, which led her to file the complaint.

My party will complete 5-year term, says CM Siddaramaiah
Mysuru (Karnataka) (PTI): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday asserted that the Congress government would complete its five-year term, while sidestepping questions on whether he personally would remain in office for the full duration.
Addressing reporters here, he maintained that decisions on the leadership would rest with the party high command and refrained from giving a direct answer on his own tenure.
“Our party will complete five years,” Siddaramaiah said, when asked if he would complete a full term as Chief Minister.
On the issue of leadership, he reiterated that the final call would be taken by the party leadership, saying, “The high command will decide. There’s no point asking the same thing again.”
Indicating his readiness to travel to the national capital if required, he said, “If I am called to Delhi, I will go,” adding that he would seek an appointment with Rahul Gandhi if needed.
The talks on leadership change have intensified in the power corridor of the state where claims were made that Siddaramaiah would make way for his Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar.
The Chief Minister also underlined that recent by-election victories in Bagalkote and Davanagere South assembly segment reflected public support for the government, stating that this clearly shows that people have appreciated the Congress government and its programmes.
The CM also dismissed the opposition’s claims, alleging they lacked strategy, and said local body elections would be conducted as per rules.
