The incident came to light after the charred body of a man was found earlier this week.

Addressing a press conference on Friday, Koppal Superintendent of Police Dr. Ram L. Arasiddi stated that the murder was a result of an extramarital affair between the accused. Investigation into the case, originally registered at the Munirabad Police Station under Koppal rural sub-division, revealed that the victim was Dyamanna, a resident of Boodagumpa.

According to police, the couple had previously attempted to kill Dyamanna 3-4 days before the actual murder. On the day of the crime, they lured him to an agricultural field and killed him by hitting his head with an iron rod. The body was then transported about 5-6 km away on a bike, doused in petrol, and set ablaze in an attempt to destroy evidence.

SP Arasiddi confirmed that CCTV footage capturing the purchase of the rod and petrol has been recovered. Police have also seized the bike and tools used in the crime. The accused have been remanded to judicial custody.

Additional SP Hemant Kumar, DSP Muttanna Sarvagol, and Koppal rural circle inspector D. Suresh were present during the press briefing.
