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.

Actor Rajpal Yadav walks out of Tihar Jail after HC suspends sentence in cheque bounce cases
New Delhi (PTI): Actor Rajpal Yadav walked out of Tihar Jail on Tuesday evening after the Delhi High Court permitted his temporary release from jail in cheque bounce cases.
After all formalities were completed, Rajpal Yadav walked out of Tihar jail around 4.50 pm, a source said. He was granted relief after submitting Rs 1.5 crore to the complainant.
Speaking to reporters outside the jail, Yadav said he has received unwavering support from across the country.
“In 2027, I will have completed 30 years of working in Bollywood. Everyone has been with me. That is why I could do 200-250 films,” Yadav said.
The actor said he has always complied with the directions of the high court and would continue to do so, adding that he was available whenever required.
"The love and backing of people from across the nation remain with him, and that if there are any allegations, he is ready to respond fully and transparently," Yadav said.
“If anyone wanted legal details, they could speak to my advocate,” he added.
Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma granted interim suspension of the six-month sentence after noting that Yadav had deposited Rs 1.5 crore to the complainant, M/s Murali Projects Pvt Ltd.
"We are granting you an interim suspension of sentence... It is till the next date of hearing," the court said, while directing Yadav to surrender his passport and not leave the country without prior permission. The court also ordered him to remain present, either physically or virtually, on the next date of hearing on March 18.
Yadav had sought suspension of his sentence citing a marriage in his family on February 19.
