Raichur: Minor girl killed by father over relationship with youngster of different caste
Raichur: A case of honour killing has been reported from Hanchinala village in Lingasugur taluk, where a father allegedly killed his underage daughter over her relationship with a youth from a different caste.
According to the police, 17-year-old Renuka, who belonged to the Kuruba community, was killed by her father, Lakkappa Kambali. After committing the crime, he allegedly disposed of her body by throwing it into the waters of River Krishna.
Reports suggest that Renuka had developed a relationship with Hanumantha, a youth from the Valmiki Nayaka community, despite opposition from her family. Earlier, she had eloped with Hanumantha, following which her family filed a missing complaint. The police traced and brought her back after a few days.
Following the incident, Lakkappa had reportedly warned Renuka to end her relationship, telling her that she would bring shame to the family if she continued. He had also assured her that the family would find a suitable groom for her. However, Renuka is said to have expressed her intention to run away again with Hanumantha once she turned 18.
Enraged by her defiance, Lakkappa allegedly took the extreme step of murdering his daughter, police said.
The Lingasugur Police have registered a case and launched an investigation into the matter.

India has agreed already to drop its tariffs to nothing: President Trump
New York/Washington, May 7 (PTI): US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said India has “agreed” to drop its high tariffs “to nothing”.
“I mean, India as an example, has one of the highest tariffs in the world. We’re not going to put up with that, and they’ve agreed already to drop it. They’ll drop it to nothing. They’ve already agreed. They would have never done that for anybody else but me,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Trump and visiting Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke to reporters as they met in the Oval Office to discuss the US-Canada trade.
“So we’re going to put down some numbers and we’re going to say our country is open for business and they’re going to come in and they’re going to pay for the privilege of being able to shop in the United States of America. It’s very simple. It’s very simple,” he added.
In the past, Trump has called India “tariff king” and a “big abuser”.
Last month, Trump had said that negotiations with India over a bilateral trade deal are “coming along great” and he thinks “we’ll have a deal with India”.
