Illicit affair: Man killed in Bengaluru, body dumped into Bhadra river
Wife’s lover killed husband
Chikmagalur, August 28: A body was found in the Bhadra river near Kudremukh in Kalasa hobli on Monday and the local police identified the person as Nawaz (30), who was killed by his wife’s lover in an illicit affair in Bengaluru recently.
Local people who noticed the body of an unidentified person at Echalu stream in the Kudremukh police station limit on Monday informed the police. Under the guidance of circle inspector Ramachandra, diver Bhaskar fished out the body and the police started their investigation to identify the person.
A murder case was registered around a week ago at Peenya in Bengaluru and the police have arrested the accused who said that the body was dumped in the river near Kudremukh. As a body was found in the river near Kudremukh, the local police informed the Bengaluru Varthur police who brought the accused to Kudremukh to identify the body. The police have confirmed that it was body of Nawaz.
Murder due to illicit affair
Both Aysha and Nawaz got married second time after divorce in their earlier marriages. After their second marriage, they have been living in a rented house in Peenya. Meanwhile, Aysha was introduced to Shivakumar recently and it turned into love later, it is said.
In the beginning, Shivakumar did not know that Aysha was married. But after knowing that she was married, Shivakumar wanted to get her by any means. To fulfill his desire of getting Aysha, he planned a plot to kill Aysha’s husband. To execute his plan, he took the help of his friends and called Nawaz for a vehicle on rent on August 20. Informing his wife, Nawaz went out for a trip. But Shivakumar and his friends who called Nawaz under the guise of taking a vehicle on rent, assaulted Nawaz with lethal weapons and slit his throat. After killing him, Shivakumar and his friends took his body to Kudremukh in a car and dumped it into Bhadra river and left, it is said.
When her husband did not turn up, Aysha called him over his mobile phone. But his phone was switched off due to which she has lodged a complaint at Varthur police station. Two days later, Nawaz parents also lodged a complaint. Following the complaints, police checked the call details of Nawaz. During investigation, the police trapped Pawan, one of the friends of Shivakumar, and he spilled the beans. Later, the police arrested the main accused Shivakumar and confirmed that they have dumped the body in the Bhadra river.
Before the Bengaluru police reaching the spot with the accused, the local police have found the body. On Tuesday morning, the Bengaluru police reached Kudremukh with the accused and confirmed that it was Nawaz body.

CM Siddaramaiah echoes Rahul’s views on ‘electoral fraud’, ‘voter list manipulation’
Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has echoed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s allegations of large-scale electoral misconduct by the BJP, accusing the ruling party at the Centre of manipulating voter lists and undermining democratic institutions, including the Election Commission of India.
In an interview with PTI Videos, Siddaramaiah said Rahul Gandhi was telling the truth when he alleged that genuine voters were being removed from electoral rolls while fake names were being added.
"Such things have happened in Maharashtra, Haryana, and Karnataka," he claimed and expressed his apprehension, "they are planning to do it in Bihar also".
The Chief Minister accused the BJP of mischief and alleged that this manipulation was happening across the country.
He came down heavily on the Election Commission, saying it is no longer functioning as an independent constitutional body.
"The Election Commission is working under the direction of the central government. It’s not independent. Election Commission has to function independently and fairly, but it is not doing so," the Chief Minister said.
Declaring that democracy is under threat, Siddaramaiah announced that the Congress would launch a nationwide campaign to expose these alleged irregularities and demand reforms to protect the integrity of the electoral process.
Siddaramaiah also reiterated the importance of conducting a nationwide caste census.
"Every state should start conducting the caste census. It should be socio-economic, educational, employment-based, and political. Because everybody should know, after independence, what is the status of an individual — economically, politically — and whether independence has reached everyone or not, whether equality has come or not," CM has insisted.
The purpose of the Constitution is to bring about change and remove inequality, he underlined.
He also clarified that he is not the convenor of the OBC advisory committee but only a member under Anil Jaihind’s leadership.
Regarding Karnataka’s own caste census, he said that authorities have been given a three-month time to complete the process and expressed hope that they will meet the deadline.
Regarding the alleged site allotment scam in Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA), Siddaramaiah said, "It is a false case. They torture me, my wife, and my family unnecessarily. Though this does not come under the PMLA Act — there is no money laundering — unnecessarily, they harassed me and my family," he complained.
Welcoming the Supreme Court’s strong remarks, CM said, "It looks like the court has rightly said that if you want to do politics, do it in elections, not here. Not in this case, not through the ED. This is the warning of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to the BJP," Siddaramaiah said.
Speaking on the June 4 stadium stampede that killed 11 people, Siddaramaiah said the Cabinet has accepted the enquiry report submitted by retired High Court judge Justice Michael D’Cunha.
"Criminal cases have already been registered against the officials of Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and DNA (the event management agency), apart from police personnel," he said.
"Additionally, an inquiry will be conducted against the police officers concerned," he added.
