Yellapur Police visited the spot immediately on being informed of the information.
Ranjitha, a divorcee, and Yallura are learned to have known each other for several years now and Yallura is also said to have been urging Ranjitha to marry him. Ranjitha, however, had not only been rejecting his repeated proposals but also stopped communicating with Yallura. Angered by this, Yallura met Ranjitha when she was returning from work on Saturday. Following an intense argument between the duo, Yallura allegedly slit Ranjitha’s throat with a weapon and escaped from the spot.
Yellapur Police, who searched for the suspect, found his dead body in the forest area.
Members of the Sangh Parivar called for a Yellapur Bandh on Sunday protesting against the murder of Ranjitha. As the members readied themselves at the Basaveshwara Circle in the city, however, they received the news of the police finding Yallura’s body in the forest.
