Kalaburagi: Police have arrested a man who allegedly murdered his disabled daughter and then attempted to portray the incident as a suicide. The arrest was made by the Kalaburagi Sub-Urban Police.
The victim has been identified as Manjula. Police say her father, Gunderao Chandrashya Neelur, is responsible for her death.
City Police Commissioner Dr Sharanappa S. D. said Gunderao strangled his daughter with a rope. He had initially claimed that Manjula took her own life due to harassment from neighbours whose land was adjacent to theirs. However, the police investigation quickly revealed that it was the father who committed the crime.
Manjula’s mother, Vimalabai, had filed a complaint suspecting neighbours of involvement in her daughter’s death. But as the inquiry progressed, the truth emerged and the father was found to be the killer.
Police have taken Gunderao into custody and produced him before court, which has remanded him to judicial custody, the Commissioner said.

Former India hockey coach Michael Nobbs dies
Melbourne (PTI): Former Australian hockey player Michael Nobbs, who coached the Indian men's team at the 2012 London Olympics, has died after a prolonged illness.
He was 72 years old and is survived by his wife Lee Capes, a former Australian women's international and daughter Kaitlin, who is a current Hockeyroos star.
"Hockey Australia extends its deepest condolences to Michael’s family, friends, former teammates, players and all those whose lives and careers were shaped by his contribution to hockey. He will be remembered as a proud Kookaburra, a respected professional, and a servant of the sport," Hockey Australia said in a statement.
Nobbs represented Australia as a defender, playing across the half-back line and at fullback, and was renowned for his reliability, fitness and professionalism. He earned 76 international caps for Australia between 1979 and 1985, scoring one goal, and was a member of one of the strongest eras in Australian men’s hockey, said Hockey Australia on its website in its tribute.
Nobbs was an integral part of the Australian teams that competed at the 1981 Hockey World Cup in Bombay and the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.
While part of a generation widely regarded as one of Australia’s finest, he consistently held his place through hard work, discipline and trust earned from teammates and coaches, Hockey Australia wrote.
Nobbs took over the coaching of the Indian men's team in 2011 after it had failed to qualify for the Beijing Games in 2008. While India were brilliant in the qualifiers, the team finished last at the London extravaganza which also expedited the Australian coach's sacking.
Apart from India, Nobbs also coached Japan.
