Kalaburagi: Police have arrested a man who allegedly murdered his disabled daughter and then attempted to portray the incident as a suicide. The arrest was made by the Kalaburagi Sub-Urban Police.
The victim has been identified as Manjula. Police say her father, Gunderao Chandrashya Neelur, is responsible for her death.
City Police Commissioner Dr Sharanappa S. D. said Gunderao strangled his daughter with a rope. He had initially claimed that Manjula took her own life due to harassment from neighbours whose land was adjacent to theirs. However, the police investigation quickly revealed that it was the father who committed the crime.
Manjula’s mother, Vimalabai, had filed a complaint suspecting neighbours of involvement in her daughter’s death. But as the inquiry progressed, the truth emerged and the father was found to be the killer.
Police have taken Gunderao into custody and produced him before court, which has remanded him to judicial custody, the Commissioner said.
