Shivamogga: Koppa Police have arrested a young man named Srujan from Sagara taluk, who is accused of strangling his girlfriend, Sowmya, in Heddaripura village of Hosanagara taluk.
According to the police, Srujan, who was employed at a finance company in Theerthahalli taluk, met Sowmya, a BSc (Nursing) student, during a collection visit to Koppa in Chikkamagaluru district. The two developed a romantic relationship; however, Srujan’s family opposed their union due to caste differences.

On July 2, Sowmya traveled to Theerthahalli after informing her parents, intending to meet Srujan and persuade him to introduce her to his family. Despite Srujan’s efforts to convince her to return to Koppa, Sowmya insisted on meeting his parents. This led to a heated argument between the couple, which escalated when Srujan, in a fit of rage, allegedly assaulted and strangled Sowmya.
Concerned about her daughter’s prolonged absence, Sowmya’s parents lodged a missing person report with the Koppa Police. The investigation team traced Srujan to Sagara taluk and took him into custody. During questioning, Srujan admitted to killing Sowmya and revealed that he had buried her body.

US VP JD Vance says Lebanon not part of ceasefire, calls it ‘misunderstanding’
Budapest/Washington: US Vice President J D Vance has said that Lebanon was never included in the ceasefire understanding with Iran, describing the confusion as a “legitimate misunderstanding”.
Speaking to reporters before departing from Hungary, Vance said, “I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon and it just didn’t. We never made that promise.”
He stressed that the United States had not included Lebanon in the scope of the ceasefire at any stage.
His remarks come amid continued Israeli strikes in Lebanon, where more than 200 people were reported killed, even as ceasefire talks between Iran and the US move forward.
Vance said Israel had “offered … to check themselves a little bit in Lebanon because they want to make sure that our negotiation is successful”.
He warned that if Iran allows the situation in Lebanon to affect the negotiations, it could derail the talks.
“If Iran wants to let this negotiation fall apart in a conflict where they were getting hammered over Lebanon, which has nothing to do with them and which the United States never once said was part of the ceasefire, that’s ultimately their choice,” he said.
