Bantwal: Man stabs woman after marriage refusal, dies by suicide in her rented house
Bantwal: In a tragic incident near Farangipete-Marypalla at Sujeer-Malli in Pudu village, a man reportedly stabbed a woman and later died by suicide after she refused to marry him. The incident occurred on Monday morning, according to police sources.
The deceased has been identified as Sudhir (30) from Kodman, while the injured woman has been identified as Divya alias Deekshitha (26), a resident of Farangipete.
Reports suggest that Sudhir and Divya were in a relationship for the past eight years, but had grown apart in recent months. Despite the fallout, Sudhir had allegedly continued to call and follow Divya.
On Monday morning, Sudhir reportedly came to meet Divya at Sujeer-Malli and urged her to marry him. When she refused, a heated argument broke out, during which Sudhir allegedly stabbed her with a knife he had brought with him. As Divya attempted to flee, she is said to have collapsed.
Believing that Divya had died, Sudhir then went to her rented house and took his own life by hanging, according to the police.
Divya, however, survived the stabbing and is currently receiving treatment, though the extent of her injuries is yet to be confirmed.
The Bantwal Rural Police have registered a case and are investigating further.
