Bengaluru teen abducts nephew over sister’s alleged extramarital affair
Davanagere: A 17-year-old boy from Bengaluru, disturbed by his elder sister’s alleged extramarital relationship, reportedly kidnapped her three-year-old son before fleeing to Davanagere. The Railway Protection Force (RPF) intercepted the teen at Davanagere railway station, where he was found with the child.
According to reports from the Times of India, the teenager revealed his identity and explained his motives during police questioning. He stated that he and his sister, along with their family, resided in Bengaluru. Upset by his sister’s relationship and her refusal to end it despite his repeated requests, he decided to take her young son to their family’s native village.
The incident came to light after the boy’s sister informed Bengaluru police that her brother had abducted her child, though she did not formally file a complaint. Bengaluru police subsequently alerted officers in Davanagere, who successfully located the boy and his nephew. The teenager has since been returned to his family in Bengaluru.

Four of family found dead in Maharashtra’s Nanded district in suspected mass suicide
Nanded (PTI): A farmer, his wife and their two sons were found dead in two different locations in Maharashtra’s Nanded district on Thursday morning, in what police suspect to be a mass suicide, an official said.
Around 8 am, the bodies of Ramesh Sonaji Lakhe (51) and his wife Radhabai Lakhe (45) were discovered on a cot in their home at Jawala Murar village in Mudkhed tehsil, he said.

The bodies of their sons, Umesh (25) and Bajrang (23), were subsequently found on nearby railway lines. It appears they jumped in front of a speeding train, the official said.
Police inspector Dattatray Manthale told reporters, “The parents were found dead inside their home, while the sons took their lives on the railway tracks. We have asked a Forensic Science Laboratory team to collect evidence. The truth will come out only after a thorough technical investigation and autopsy.”
While the nature of their death appears to be part of a suicide pact, police said the exact circumstances remain unclear.
The family belonged to the small-scale farming community, but it is not yet confirmed if financial distress or a domestic crisis triggered the extreme step, the official said.
Neighbours described the Lakhes as a hardworking family who struggled against the odds of small-land farming to sustain themselves.
The Nanded rural police are recording statements of relatives and checking for notes or final messages left by the family.
