Bnegaluru: A 29-year-old man named Harish has been arrested for the alleged murder of his wife, Bharathi, in Kolur village near Doddaballapur. The disturbing incident unfolded after Bharathi refused to return to Harish, just a few days after they had eloped with a relative. The most distressing part is that their five-year-old daughter witnessed the entire horrifying act. After committing the crime, Harish took their daughter with him and fled to his village.
According to reports, Harish strangled Bharathi and hit her on the head with a blunt object in their rental house on Wednesday evening.
The murder came to light when Bharathi's lover, Gangadhar, grew worried as she did not answer his calls. Gangadhar asked his friend Suresh to check on her. Upon arriving at the scene, Suresh discovered Bharathi's lifeless body in a pool of blood. He immediately informed the landlord, Ramanjinappa, and called the police.
Gangadhar, who was informed about Bharathi's death, rushed to the location but was detained by villagers who suspected his involvement. The police arrived and took Gangadhar into custody for questioning. During the investigation, Gangadhar expressed his belief that Harish was responsible for the crime.
Based on Gangadhar's statement, the police swiftly apprehended Harish. Shockingly, Harish confessed to the murder, revealing that he and Bharathi had been married for ten years. He discovered Bharathi's affair with Gangadhar and had warned them to end their relationship. However, Bharathi eloped with Gangadhar during Harish's recent visit to his brother.
Harish tried to convince Bharathi to come back home, but she refused and expressed her desire to continue living with Gangadhar. Frustrated and angry, Harish committed the unthinkable act.
Ramanjinappa, the landlord of the rental house, shared that Bharathi and Gangadhar had rented the property just 12 days before the tragedy. Bharathi introduced Gangadhar as her husband, and she rarely ventured outside.

Barcelona (AP): Real Madrid slapped players Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni with half-a-million-euro ($588,000) fines on Friday for their altercation during practice.
The massive fines came a day after the midfielders tussled when the team trained. Valverde said in a post on social media on Thursday that no punches were thrown. But Valverde knocked his head on a table and he suffered a small cut that required a brief hospital visit.
On social media, Valverde initially called it a “meaningless fight” with a teammate and said “everything has been blown out of proportion."
His employers, however, considered it a significant enough breach of team discipline to nail both Valverde and Tchouaméni with fines that bite even the bank account of a top soccer player. The half-a-million euro penalties reflect the reputational damage the club was enduring in a chaotic end to a disappointing season.
In a statement, the 15-time European champion said its disciplinary action was concluded after both players expressed to the club “their complete remorse for what happened and apologized to one another.”
Madrid added they also apologized to their teammates, the coaching staff and club supporters, as well as showing their willingness to accept whatever disciplinary action the club deemed “opportune.”
Tchouaméni was back training with Madrid on Friday, two days before they play at Barcelona in a clasico. Madrid has to win otherwise Barcelona will be crowned La Liga champion.
After being notified of the fine, he posted a public apology to the club and its fans on social media.
“What happened this week in training is unacceptable,” Tchouaméni wrote. "I say this while thinking about the example we are expected to set for young people, whether in football or at school.
“Above all, I am sorry for the image we projected of the club.”
Valverde was not at practice due to the head knock.
Both players are set to play in the World Cup next month, with Tchouaméni playing for France and Valverde for Uruguay.
Chaotic end to a poor season
===================
The run-in between the players, who for seasons have played side by side in Madrid's midfield, came after they argued this week in previous training sessions. But tempers boiled over on Thursday. Spanish media was rife with reports that the players previously disagreed over the club's decision to let coach Xabi Alonso go after just months on the job.
It was not the only altercation involving Madrid players during training this week. Álvaro Carreras confirmed he was in a “minor” incident with a teammate. Spanish media said he and fellow defender Antonio Rüdiger got into a scuffle.
Álvaro Arbeloa, the coach who was promoted from Madrid's reserve team when Alonso was fired in January, will face tough questions on what went wrong inside the changing room when he gives a press conference on Saturday ahead of the clasico at Camp Nou.
Madrid is facing a second consecutive campaign without a major trophy amid rumors in the Spanish media that club president Florentino Pérez is considering bringing back Jose Mourinho to straighten out his underperforming team.
