Karnataka: Lover kills 20-year-old married woman by setting off explosive in her mouth
A 20-year-old married woman was brutally killed by her lover by setting off an explosive in her mouth in a village in Karnataka's Mysore.
A video from the crime scene, the woman's body on a bed, with the lower part of her face completely blown up.
A pool of blood was also seen on the floor.
The woman was identified as Rakshita, who was a resident of Gerasanahalli village in Hunsur Taluk.
The room she was found dead in was a lodge in Bherya village, where she had checked in with her lover, Siddaraju.
She was married to a daily wage labourer from Kerala, and was in an illicit relationship with Siddaraju, a relative of hers.
During their stay at the lodge, the couple had a fight, and the man then allegedly put a combustible material in her mouth and set it off using a trigger that is used to explode gelatin sticks in quarries, media reports said.
The accused tried to mislead others by claiming that the woman had died due to a mobile phone blast.
However, while attempting to flee, he was caught by locals and handed over to the police.
The body was later identified, and the Saligrama Police took Siddaraju into custody. An investigation into the case is underway.
