Farmer in Kollegal allegedly commits suicide five days after marriage; police case against five
Chamarajanagar: In a case reported from GP Mallappapuram of Kollegal town, Chamarajanagar district, a 43-year-old man took his own life by hanging at his residence on Sunday, just five days after his wedding.
The deceased, identified as Satish Babu, was a 43-year-old farmer who had recently tied the knot with Chennajamma, a native of Kannahalli village in Narsipura. Within three days of the wedding, Satish Babu reportedly displayed disinterest in participating in rituals and functions, citing illness. However, on Sunday morning, he went to work in the fields. Upon returning, he was tragically found dead, having hanged himself in his room.
Following the incident, Satish Babu's wife, Chennajamma, lodged a police complaint against her father-in-law Lingaraju, mother-in-law Mahadevi, and three other relatives, namely Devanand, Prakash, and Vijayakumar. Chennajamma alleged that these five individuals were responsible for her husband's untimely demise.
