Moodbidri: Man pushes married woman into well, dies by suicide moments later
Moodbidri: A man allegedly pushed a married woman into a well and then died by suicide by jumping into the same well at Marakada in Badagamizaaru, Moodbidri taluk, on Wednesday.
The deceased have been identified as Namiksha Shetty (29), a resident of Badagamizaaru, and Prashanth, reportedly her lover, originally from Niddodi.
Namiksha, who was married and had two young sons, had been living with her children at her parental home due to strained relations with her husband, Satish, who works in Pune.
Prashanth, a native of Bagalkote, was previously married and later divorced. He is said to have come into contact with Namiksha through Instagram, and had been visiting her house occasionally.
On the day of the incident, Prashanth visited Namiksha’s house when no one else was home. An argument reportedly broke out between them, which escalated quickly.
He then allegedly pushed Namiksha into a well. One of her children reportedly witnessed the act. Moments later, Prashanth also jumped into the well, ending his life.
Fire and emergency services recovered both bodies from the well. A case has been registered at the Moodbidri police station, and investigations are ongoing.
(Assistance for overcoming suicidal thoughts is available on the state’s health helpline 104, Tele-MANAS 14416.)
