Man in Chamarajanagar stabs to death sister, attacks father, sister-in-law after fight over trivial
Chamarajanagar: A man living at the Idgah Mohalla in Kollegala town, Farman Pasha, was arrested for allegedly killing his sister using a knife and also attacking his father and sister-in-law on Wednesday night, following an argument and fight over an apparently trivial issue.
Kollegala Town Police, who visited their house on being informed of the matter and arrested Pasha, said that his younger sister Iman Banu (26), who was gravely injured due to the attack, died on the spot. Pasha also stabbed his father and sister-in-law Tasleema Taj (25), who are being treated at the Chamarajanagar Institute of Medical Sciences (CIMS) Hospital.
The officers have said that Pasha was feeding his young niece cucumber, when his sister Iman scolded him for doing so as the child was suffering from fever. While this gave rise to an argument between the siblings, the situation tensed up very soon, resulting in Pasha stabbing his younger sister with a knife in her neck. A grievously injured Iman is learned to have died on the spot.
Syed and Tasleema, who attempted to stop Pasha from stabbing Iman were also attacked with the knife, the police said, adding that, the duo, being seriously injured, is under medical treatment.
