Chamarajanagar, October 13: A boy who was a witness to an illicit affair was drowned in a tank and killed him at Silkalpura in Kollegala taluk in the district.

The seven year old boy who was missing for the one week, found dead in the tank. But the police found that it was his mother's lover who killed him and arrested his mother and her lover.

Last Saturday, Preetham, son of Nanjundaswamy of the village was missing mysteriously. Though his parents searched for him, they have failed to trace him. Then the parents lodged a complaint at Kollegala rural police station. But the body of Preetham was found in the tank on October 10 in mutilated condition.

When the police investigated, they found his mother's hand behind the murder. Based on the investigation, the police arrested his mother Sakamma and her lover Nagaraj Murthy who admitted to the crime.

With this, the incident took a twist and said that the illicit affair of his mother with another person was the main reason for the murder. Now they were put behind bars. Kollegala Circle Inspector Rajanna, Rural Police Sub Inspector Vanaraju and team traced the case.

Last Saturday, when Nanjundaswamy had gone to work, Preetham came home and saw his mother Sakamma having sex with Nagaraj Murthy and shouted. In order to cover-up the incident from her husband and villagers, she and Nagaraj Murthy planned to kill the boy. Luring Preetham to get him butterfly, Nagaraj Murthy took him to the tank, pushed him into it and killed, it is said.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court has ruled that sex during a consensual extramarital affair cannot be considered rape, even if one party claims the act was based on a false promise of marriage.

Quashing a seven-year-old FIR filed by Vanita S Jadhav against Mahesh Damu Khare at the Kharghar police station in Mumbai, a bench of Justices B V Nagarathna and N Kotiswar Singh highlighted a concerning trend of criminalising consensual relationships after they turn sour. The court stated that complaints of breach of promise to marry should be filed immediately and not after years of consensual sexual relations.

The affair between Khare, a married man, and Jadhav, a widow, began in 2008. Jadhav claimed that Khare had promised to marry her before engaging in sexual intercourse. However, after Khare's wife filed extortion charges against Jadhav, Jadhav lodged a rape complaint in March 2017.

The Supreme Court stated that, given the long duration of the relationship, it could not be conclusively said that the physical relationship was solely based on Khare’s alleged promise to marry.
