Raichur: Minor girl killed by father over relationship with youngster of different caste
Raichur: A case of honour killing has been reported from Hanchinala village in Lingasugur taluk, where a father allegedly killed his underage daughter over her relationship with a youth from a different caste.
According to the police, 17-year-old Renuka, who belonged to the Kuruba community, was killed by her father, Lakkappa Kambali. After committing the crime, he allegedly disposed of her body by throwing it into the waters of River Krishna.
Reports suggest that Renuka had developed a relationship with Hanumantha, a youth from the Valmiki Nayaka community, despite opposition from her family. Earlier, she had eloped with Hanumantha, following which her family filed a missing complaint. The police traced and brought her back after a few days.
Following the incident, Lakkappa had reportedly warned Renuka to end her relationship, telling her that she would bring shame to the family if she continued. He had also assured her that the family would find a suitable groom for her. However, Renuka is said to have expressed her intention to run away again with Hanumantha once she turned 18.
Enraged by her defiance, Lakkappa allegedly took the extreme step of murdering his daughter, police said.
The Lingasugur Police have registered a case and launched an investigation into the matter.
