Madikeri: Man kills class X girl, flees with her head after family postpones their wedding
Madikeri: In what has turned out to be a shocking incident reported from the village of Mutlu in Somwarpet Taluk, a 16-year-old girl, a recent SSLC pass-out from Surlabbi High School, was brutally murdered with the accused fleeing the spot with her head.
The victim has been identified as Meena, while the accused, identified as Prakash (32), is currently evading authorities.
The incident occurred amidst the joyous atmosphere of Meena's SSLC success celebration. According to local customs, her family had arranged her engagement to Prakash, a fellow resident of Mutlu village. However, complications arose when the Social Welfare Department intervened upon discovering Meena's underage status. Consequently, both families consented to postpone the marriage until Meena reached the legal age of 18.
Infuriated by this turn of events, Prakash unleashed a violent attack on Meena's family, ultimately leading to the horrifying act of beheading the young girl.
Kodagu SP K. Ramarajan has assured the community that law enforcement agencies are actively pursuing the case, seeking justice for the victim and her family.
