Kalaburagi: A man allegedly killed his mother in Rajoḷḷa village of Chittapur taluk on Saturday in a fit of rage for visiting her parental home. The deceased has been identified as 72-year-old Devakamma Doddabirappa Pujari. The accused, her son Jatteppa Doddabirappa Pujari, aged 34, has been arrested by the police.
According to reports, Devakamma had visited Lakshmipuravadi village a few days ago and returned to Rajolla on Saturday morning. Upset over her absence, Jatteppa reportedly confronted his mother, asking who was supposed to look after his needs during her absence. During the altercation, he hit her with a wooden log. When Devakamma tried to flee the house in fear, Jatteppa chased her down and fatally assaulted her, police said.
Twelve years ago, Jatteppa married a woman from Handarki village, and they have two sons. However, due to Jatteppa’s alleged harassment, his wife left him and moved back to her parental home with their children. Since then, only Jatteppa and his mother had been living together, with Devakamma cooking and doing household chores for him, Shahabad DySP Shankargouda Patil informed.
The police have arrested Jatteppa and produced him before the court, which has remanded him to judicial custody.

Delhi Capitals beat Rajasthan Royals by 5 wickets in IPL
New Delhi (PTI): Abhishek Porel and KL Rahul hit fluent half-centuries as Delhi Capitals overhauled a competitive Rajasthan Royals total to register a five-wicket victory in their Indian Premier League clash here on Sunday.
Porel, playing only his third IPL match of the season, looked in fine touch during his 31-ball 51, while KL Rahul bounced back from a couple of underwhelming outings with a composed 56 off 42 deliveries as Delhi Capitals completed the chase of 194 in 19.2 overs.
The opening pair stitched together a match-winning 105-run partnership that laid the foundation for DC's chase, before Axar Patel scored an unbeaten 34 off 18 deliveries to complete the chase.
Earlier, Mitchell Starc starred with the ball for DC, producing a devastating spell of fast bowling to restrict Rajasthan Royals to 193 for 8.
Starc ripped through the RR middle order in a dramatic 15th over, dismissing a well-set Riyan Parag (51), Donovan Ferreira (0) and Ravi Singh (4). The left-arm pacer struck off the second, third and fifth deliveries of the over, narrowly missing out on a hat-trick.
Despite the collapse, Rajasthan Royals still managed a competitive total thanks to impressive half-centuries from skipper Parag and Dhruv Jurel, who made 53 off 40 balls, while young opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi contributed a valuable 46 at the top of the order.
Brief Scores:
Rajasthan Royals: 193 for 8 in 20 overs (Vaibhav Sooryavanshi 46, Dhruv Jurel 53, Riyan Parag 51; Lungi Ngidi 2/24, Madhav Tiwari 2/27, Mitchell Starc 4/40).
Delhi Capitals: 197 for 5 in 19.2 overs (Abishek Porel 51, KL Rahul 56, Axar Patel 34 not out; Jofra Archer 2/35, Brijesh Sharma 2/44).
