Mysuru: Man kills second wife; plots plan with first spouse, children for property
Mysuru: A man, along with his first wife and her children allegedly killed his second wife for property here at Naidu Nagar.
The deceased second wife has been identified as Akhila Bhanu (46). The accused husband Abba Tayyub, his first wife’s son’s Muhammad Asif, Muhammad Tauseef and Muhammad Haider have been taken into police custody in connection with the incident.
The accused Abba was working at the Silk Factory and had married Akhila Bhanu, his second wife in 2013. While his first wife had four children, Bhanu had no children. Bhanu was reportedly suffering from cancer and later recovered.
Around six months ago, Bhanu’s elder sister’s son, Syed Irfan, bought a house for her in Naidu Nagar. The house was jointly registered in the names of both Abba and Akhila Bhanu.

Tayyub had reportedly attempted to transfer the ownership of Akhila Bhanu's house to his first wife's children. Frequent fights between the husband and second wife over this matter were reported. On the morning of February 16, Tayyub allegedly went to Syed Irfan's house and informed him that Akhila was dead.
Upon examination, Syed Irfan found incised wounds on Akhila Bhanu's neck. Suspecting foul play, he filed a complaint stating that his aunt's death was not natural but a murder.
Following Irfan's complaint, the police took the accused individuals into custody. A case in connection with the matter has been registered in Narasimharaja Police Station, Mysuru.

Two injuries, one DNF, a DQ as India end messy World Relays campaign
Gaborone (Botswana) (PTI): Amoj Jacob and Ragul Kumar got injured during the men's 4x400m and 4x100 races respectively as India ended their World Athletics Relays campaign in disappointment on the second day of competitions here on Sunday.
The Indian camp had high hopes of making the 2027 World Championships in the men's 4x400m relay but the team did not finish (DNF) the race as Jacob suffered cramps and pulled out of the race after taking the baton from the first leg runner Dharamveer Choudhary. Rajesh Ramesh and Vishal TK were to run in the third and fourth legs.
Those teams which could not qualify for the 2027 Beijing World Championships by reaching the final round of each of the six relay events on Saturday were given another chance in the second qualification round on Sunday.
The top two teams in each of the two heats (in all six relay events) booked the Beijing ticket on Sunday.
India will now have to try and qualify for the World Championships through the Top Lists of the World Athletics, which is a long and tedious process.
In the men's 4x100m race, third leg runner Ragul Kumar fell down the track after failing to hand over the baton inside the exchange zone to fourth leg runner Gurindervir Singh, which clearly showed the lack of coordination among the runners.
Harsh Santosh Raut and Animesh Kujur ran the first two legs.
The Indian quartet was disqualified and Kumar was seen being taken away from the Field of Play with the help of the volunteers.
It was a comedy of errors in the case of the women's 4x100m race, which saw the baton being dropped during an exchange between first leg runner Tamanna and second runner Nithya Gandhe, though the Indians finished the race in 53.09 seconds.
Gandhe started running quite a distance, but after realising that the baton was not in her hand, she turned and ran back to pick it up.
The only silver-lining for the Indian contingent was the national record time in the mixed 4x100m relay race, though the quartet of Ragul Kumar, Nithya Gandhe, Animesh Kujur and Sneha SS finished sixth in heat number two with a time of 41.35 seconds, bettering the previous national mark of 42.30 seconds set in March in Chandigarh.
The mixed 4x400m relay quartet of Theerthesh P Shetty, Kumari Saloni, Nihal William and Rashdeep Kaur ended at fifth in heat number one with a time of 3 minutes and 19.40 seconds.
On Saturday, all the five Indian relay teams had failed to make it to the respective final rounds and thus missed out on the 2027 World Championships berths.
