Man in Mudigere kills wife after fighting with her in drunken state; detained by police
Chikkamagaluru: A man living in Kirugunda village of Mudigere taluk allegedly fought with his wife Padmakshi (40) in a state of inebriation and ended up hacking her to death on Friday night. The local police officers have detained the accused.
The husband, Chandru, is learned to have returned home at the SC/ST Layout in Kirugunda at night, after drinking, which upset his wife and led to the argument between the couple. As the fight between them in the front yard of the house intensified, Chandru, infuriated on being questioned by his wife, attacked her with a sickle. Padmakshi, who was grievously injured due to the attack, is learned to have died in the front yard at night.
Chandru, unaware that his wife had died, spent the night inside the house and learned of the matter when he came out in the morning.
A case has been registered at the Gonibeedu Police Station and the officers, who visited the SC/ST Layout during investigation, have detained Chandru.

4 workers die after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad
Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.
The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).
"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.
The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.
The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.
Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.
They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.
Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
