A tragic incident unfolded near Gunthapanahalli village in Chikkaballapur, where Anusha (28), an eight-months pregnant woman, was found dead under suspicious circumstances.
Anusha, a resident of Ambedkar Nagar, was previously married and had returned to her parental home after her first husband’s paralysis. She later developed a relationship with Pavan, a resident of Gunthapanahalli, leading to her pregnancy. Despite her efforts to marry him, Pavan’s family rejected the proposal due to caste differences and her past marriage.
Fifteen days prior, Anusha had accused Pavan of attempting to poison her. Following her recovery and reconciliation, the couple stayed together. On the night of the incident, they reportedly consumed alcohol and slept outdoors. The next morning, Pavan claimed Anusha had taken her own life, but police have detained him for questioning.
The Chikkaballapur Rural police are investigating the case.
