A tragic incident unfolded in Ramanagara district as a 27-year-old woman, C Ashwini, was brutally murdered by her husband, K Ramesh. Allegedly enraged by her refusal to hand over her earnings, Ramesh committed the heinous act, tying her legs with a rope and dragging her body for almost 300 meters.
Details of the Incident
Ashwini, a resident of Kasaba in Channapatna, worked as a cook in a doctor’s residence. The incident occurred in the early hours of Wednesday, with Ashwini’s body discovered in an open field at Managadahalli village of Virupakshipur Hobli in Ramanagara.
History of Domestic Abuse
Reports suggest that Ramesh had a history of alcohol abuse and domestic violence, often subjecting Ashwini to physical assault. Unable to endure the harassment any longer, Ashwini had sought refuge at her parents’ house with her two children. However, Ramesh’s false promises led her to return, resulting in this tragic outcome.
Legal Actions and Investigation
Upon discovering the gruesome scene, Ashwini’s mother, Manjamma, filed a complaint against Ramesh. Police suspect strangulation as the cause of death and have arrested the accused. Investigations are ongoing to uncover further details surrounding this appalling crime.
