Mysuru: Man arrested for murdering lover using explosive
Mysuru: A man has been arrested in Karnataka’s Mysuru district for allegedly murdering his lover by placing a gelatin stick in her mouth and detonating it. The incident occurred in a lodge in Bherya village, Saligrama taluk.
The deceased has been identified as Rakshita, 20, a resident of Gerasanahalli in Hunsur taluk. The accused, Siddaraju, is a resident of Bilikere village near Periyapatna town.
According to police sources, Rakshita was married to a man from Kerala but was reportedly in an extramarital relationship with Siddaraju. The couple is said to have travelled together to the Kappadi pilgrimage centre, after which they checked into a lodge in Bherya village.
During their stay, Siddaraju allegedly inserted a gelatin explosive into Rakshita’s mouth and detonated it, resulting in her immediate death. He later attempted to mislead authorities by claiming that her death had occurred due to a mobile phone explosion.
Lodge staff grew suspicious after failing to find any evidence of an exploded phone at the scene. When questioned, Siddaraju claimed the device had been discarded. He then attempted to flee, prompting the hotel staff to alert the local police.
Upon interrogation, Siddaraju confessed to the crime, according to officials. A case has been registered at the Saligrama police station, and further investigation is underway.

PM Modi, myself don't have 'wife issue': Rahul Gandhi
New Delhi (PTI): In a friendly banter, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Friday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and he didn’t have "the wife issue", as the Congress MP emphasised that everyone has learnt from women in their lives.
Participating in a debate in the Lok Sabha on the three bills introduced for amendments to the women's quota law and setting up a delimitation commission, Gandhi said women are a driving force in the national imagination and national perspective.
"All of us in this room have been influenced, taught, and have learnt a lot from women in our lives – from mothers, sisters, wives," Gandhi said.
"Of course, the prime minister and myself don't have the wife issue, so we don't get that input, but we have our mothers and sisters," he said while referring to Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju's light-hearted remark that he got a scolding at home as he did not pen a poem for his wife like Union minister Arjun Ram Meghwal did.
Gandhi also lauded his sister and Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi's speech in the Lok Sabha on Thursday.
"Yesterday, I was watching my sister achieve in five minutes what I have not been able to do in 20 years of my political career – make Amit Shah Ji smile," Gandhi said to peals of laughter.
