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.

Arrive 3 hours early: Airlines urge passengers as centre tightens airport security after Pak attack
New Delhi: Airlines have asked passengers to reach airports at least three hours before departure after the Centre increased security measures in response to Pakistan’s ongoing attack, reported India Today.
According to the Ministry of Civil Aviation, all passengers will now face a Secondary Ladder Point Check (SLPC) before boarding. The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) has directed all airports and airlines to step up security.
Air India said, “Passengers are advised to arrive at least three hours prior to departure. Check-in closes 75 minutes before departure.” Akasa Air and IndiGo issued similar advisories, asking passengers to allow more time for security checks.
All passengers must carry valid photo ID and will undergo secondary checks before boarding. Visitor entry to terminals has been banned, and Air Marshals will be deployed as required.
The moves come as India’s defence systems shot down Pakistani missiles and drones in Jammu, Punjab, and Rajasthan. At least 21 airports are shut till May 10, and several flights are cancelled. Civilian aircraft are avoiding airspace over Pakistan and India’s western corridor, data from Flightradar24 shows.
