Woman’s body found decomposed inside bed box in Belagavi; husband absconding
Belagavi: A shocking incident was reported from Kamaladini village in Mudalagi taluk, where the decomposed body of a woman was found hidden inside the storage box of a bed at her residence on Wednesday.
The deceased has been identified as Sakshi, wife of Akash Sadashiv Kambar (24), a resident of Maddi Plot in Kamaladini. According to police, Akash allegedly murdered his wife and hid her body inside the bed box before switching off his mobile phone and fleeing from the house.
The incident came to light when Akash’s mother returned home on Wednesday evening and noticed a foul smell. Upon opening the bed box, she discovered Sakshi’s decomposed body.
Following the discovery, Gokak DySP Ravi Nayak, CPI Shreeshail Byakood, and PSI Raju Pujeri visited the spot and conducted an inspection. A search operation has been launched to trace the absconding husband.
Police sources said that Akash and Sakshi were married on May 24, 2025, and lived together with Akash’s parents. During the incident, Akash’s mother Shobha had reportedly gone to her hometown. However, it is unclear what Akash’s father, Sadashiv, who was present in the house, was doing until the body was discovered, raising serious questions.
Meanwhile, Sakshi’s family members have lodged a complaint at the Mudalagi Police Station, alleging that she was being harassed for dowry by her husband Akash, mother-in-law Shobha, father-in-law Sadashiv, relatives Nadini and her husband Anand, and a local resident Kadesh Navi.
Locals have claimed that Akash was seen in the village on Tuesday evening. The police are investigating to determine the precise cause and motive behind the murder.

Former minister C M Ibrahim announces to launch new regional party for Karnataka
Kalaburagi: Two years after being expelled from the Janata Dal (Secular), former minister C.M. Ibrahim has announced that he will launch a new regional political party in Karnataka on January 24, reported Deccan Herald.

Ibrahim emphasised that the organisation would be guided by the principles of 12th-century social reformer Basavanna and the architect of the Indian Constitution, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.
A veteran politician, Ibrahim served as Union Civil Aviation Minister during the tenure of H.D. Deve Gowda as Prime Minister and later headed the Karnataka unit of the Janata Dal (Secular). He was expelled from the JD(S) in 2023 on charges of anti-party activities.
His exit from the party followed sharp differences over the JD(S) decision to ally with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). As the then state president of the JD(S), Ibrahim had publicly criticised the alliance, claiming it was finalised without his knowledge. He had also reportedly convened meetings of his supporters and expressed support for the INDIA bloc.
