Raichur: 3 women from one family murdered
Raichur: In an incident of multiple murders, three women from a single family were beaten to death using a wooden stick on late Tuesday night at Yaramaras in the jurisdiction of the Raichur Rural police station.
The deceased have been identified as Santhoshi, and her two daughters Vaishnavi and Arathi. Speculations suggest that the accused is Vaishnavi’s husband Sai, who has reportedly gone into hiding.
Santhoshi’s elder daughter Vaishnavi married Sai six months ago. Of late, the newlyweds were reportedly fighting. Similarly, the husband and wife had gotten into another fight on Tuesday night, after which Sai allegedly beat his wife, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law to death with a wooden stick, it is doubted.
A case has been registered in this regard by the Raichur Rural police, and an investigation is underway.

Daycare chemotherapy centres to be set up in district hospitals, announces Dr. Sharanaparakash Patil
Belagavi: Medical Education Minister Dr. Sharanaparakash Rudrappa Patil on Tuesday said the State government plans to establish day-care chemotherapy centres in all district hospitals across Karnataka to make cancer treatment more accessible.
Replying to a question raised by BJP MLC M.P. Kushalappa during the Question Hour in the Legislative Council, the minister said it was not feasible for cancer patients from various districts to travel repeatedly to Kidwai Memorial Institute in Bengaluru. To address this issue, the government is taking steps to establish cancer care centers in other districts in collaboration with the Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology.
Providing details of cancer treatment at Kidwai, Dr. Patil said that over the past three years, 41,512 cancer patients have received treatment at the institute. Treatment included surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these, depending on the type and stage of cancer.
Between 2022 and 2024, a total of 12,781 patients underwent surgery, 14,423 patients received radiation therapy, and over 28,370 patients were administered chemotherapy, he said.
The minister further noted that more than 110 patients were provided bone marrow transplants, an otherwise expensive procedure, free of cost at the institute during the same period.
The proposed day-care chemotherapy centers, he said, would significantly reduce the burden on patients and improve access to timely cancer treatment at the district level.
