Soraba: Father attempts to kill pregnant daughter, taken into police custody
Soraba: A father allegedly attempted to murder his 21-year-old pregnant daughter near Kanahalli village, close to Ulavi in Soraba taluk, fearing social stigma as she conceived before marriage.
According to reports, the accused became enraged after learning of his daughter’s pregnancy. On Saturday, he took his wife and daughter to the forested area near Kannuru under the pretext of visiting a hospital. There, he tried to strangle his daughter with a rope, ignoring his wife’s desperate pleas to stop. The young woman reportedly lost consciousness during the assault. Believing she was dead, the parents left the scene.
Later, the woman regained consciousness and managed to walk to a nearby road. With the help of locals, she was admitted to the Ulavi Primary Health Centre for initial treatment and then shifted to McGann Hospital in Shivamogga for further care.
Based on the victim’s complaint, a case has been registered at the Soraba Town Police Station. The accused father has been taken into custody, and further investigation is underway.
