Sagara youth arrested for allegedly strangling girlfriend in Shivamogga District
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.
