Woman’s body found decomposed inside bed box in Belagavi; husband absconding
Belagavi: A shocking incident was reported from Kamaladini village in Mudalagi taluk, where the decomposed body of a woman was found hidden inside the storage box of a bed at her residence on Wednesday.
The deceased has been identified as Sakshi, wife of Akash Sadashiv Kambar (24), a resident of Maddi Plot in Kamaladini. According to police, Akash allegedly murdered his wife and hid her body inside the bed box before switching off his mobile phone and fleeing from the house.
The incident came to light when Akash’s mother returned home on Wednesday evening and noticed a foul smell. Upon opening the bed box, she discovered Sakshi’s decomposed body.
Following the discovery, Gokak DySP Ravi Nayak, CPI Shreeshail Byakood, and PSI Raju Pujeri visited the spot and conducted an inspection. A search operation has been launched to trace the absconding husband.
Police sources said that Akash and Sakshi were married on May 24, 2025, and lived together with Akash’s parents. During the incident, Akash’s mother Shobha had reportedly gone to her hometown. However, it is unclear what Akash’s father, Sadashiv, who was present in the house, was doing until the body was discovered, raising serious questions.
Meanwhile, Sakshi’s family members have lodged a complaint at the Mudalagi Police Station, alleging that she was being harassed for dowry by her husband Akash, mother-in-law Shobha, father-in-law Sadashiv, relatives Nadini and her husband Anand, and a local resident Kadesh Navi.
Locals have claimed that Akash was seen in the village on Tuesday evening. The police are investigating to determine the precise cause and motive behind the murder.

Mangaluru: Teacher booked for allegedly beating student in school
Vittla (Dakshina Kannada): A case has been registered at the Vittla Police Station against a school teacher on charges of seriously assaulting a student with a cane at an English-medium school in Idkidu village here near Vittla in Dakshina Kannada district.
According to the complaint, the student, who attends the school regularly, had gone to school as usual. Around 2 pm, the child’s parents received a call from the school office stating that their child had allegedly disturbed other students. The school informed them that when the teacher scolded the student over the issue, the child became frightened and urinated, and the parents were asked to come and take the child home.
The parents reportedly told the school staff that no one was at home at the time and requested that the child be sent home in an autorickshaw.
After returning home, the student told the parents that a teacher identified as Istikaar had beaten him severely on the hand with a cane. The child also said that he urinated out of fear while the assault was taking place.
When the parents contacted the teacher over the phone to question him about the incident, he allegedly responded in a dismissive manner.
Following this, the parents lodged complaints with the Vittla Police Station and the Child Development Project Office, seeking justice and strict action against the teacher for allegedly assaulting the child without any valid reason.
Police have registered a case against the teacher and have taken up further investigation.
