Mysuru: Man arrested for murdering lover using explosive
Mysuru: A man has been arrested in Karnataka’s Mysuru district for allegedly murdering his lover by placing a gelatin stick in her mouth and detonating it. The incident occurred in a lodge in Bherya village, Saligrama taluk.
The deceased has been identified as Rakshita, 20, a resident of Gerasanahalli in Hunsur taluk. The accused, Siddaraju, is a resident of Bilikere village near Periyapatna town.
According to police sources, Rakshita was married to a man from Kerala but was reportedly in an extramarital relationship with Siddaraju. The couple is said to have travelled together to the Kappadi pilgrimage centre, after which they checked into a lodge in Bherya village.
During their stay, Siddaraju allegedly inserted a gelatin explosive into Rakshita’s mouth and detonated it, resulting in her immediate death. He later attempted to mislead authorities by claiming that her death had occurred due to a mobile phone explosion.
Lodge staff grew suspicious after failing to find any evidence of an exploded phone at the scene. When questioned, Siddaraju claimed the device had been discarded. He then attempted to flee, prompting the hotel staff to alert the local police.
Upon interrogation, Siddaraju confessed to the crime, according to officials. A case has been registered at the Saligrama police station, and further investigation is underway.
