Rivalry over relationship leads to alleged murder of 50-year-old man in Karkala; one held
Udupi: A 44-year-old man from Karkala was arrested for the alleged murder of a man at Kuntalpadi within the limits of Karkala Town Police Station limits on Tuesday over a dispute regarding relationship with a woman.
The arrested, identified as Parikshit, son of Sanjeev Gowda from Nada, worked as a bus driver in Mangaluru and lived alone at Doopadakatte in Karkala after separation from his wife and children.
The victim, Naveen Poojary (50), was a native of Mangaluru but had been staying at SJ Arcade in Karkala, separately from his family, for four years.
Police have said that Poojary’s body was found early Tuesday morning by a road in Kuntalpadi with multiple stab injuries. The police, who probed the matter, checked CCTV camera footage and other technical evidence related to the incident. Confirming the involvement of Parikshit’s involvement in the crime, they took Parikshit into custody.
Udupi Superintendent of Police Hariram Shankar has said that preliminary investigations showed the accused and the victim to have a rivalry as Poojary got close to a woman known to Parikshit, which irked the latter. There were also frequent quarrels between the men and, in a fit of rage on Tuesday, Parikshit allegedly stabbed Poojary with a knife, resulting in Poojary’s death.
The SP has visited the site and inspected it. Karkala Town Police, who have registered a case, are investigating further.

New Delhi (PTI): A 23-year-old woman was found dead in her house in Delhi's Prem Nagar area, with police suspecting it to be a case of suicide, an official said on Tuesday.
The deceased, identified as Anjali Singh, was found motionless in her room on Monday by her sister and her neighbour.

According to the family, the room in which Anjali was found was locked from the inside. The door was later forcibly opened by a neighbour and her sister with the help of a crowbar.
Her body was found lying on the bed inside the room, police said.
Preliminary inquiry revealed that Anjali had allegedly hanged herself using a piece of cloth tied to the ceiling fan.
It is suspected that the noose eventually might have loosened or torn off, resulting in her being found lying on the bed.
Family members informed the police that Anjali was a final-year student of a librarian science course from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU). About a week ago, her final-year examination results were declared, and she had failed, following which she had been under depression, they said.
The family has not raised any allegation of foul play, police said, adding that no suicide note or external injury marks were found on the body during the initial inspection.
Inquest proceedings have been initiated in the matter as per the law. The body has been sent for post-mortem examination to ascertain the exact cause of death, and further investigation is underway, police added.
