BAGALKOT: In a case of honour killing, a man murdered his son-in-law in Bagalkot district of Karnataka, police said on Monday.

A manhunt has been started for the accused Tammna Gouda and his two associates.

The dead has been identified as Bhujabala Karjagi, 34, of Takkoda village in the district, which is close to Jamkhandi town.

Bhujabala belonged to the Jain community whereas Bhagyashree was a Kshatriya. The two had eloped from their homes a year ago and got married, police said.

The pair had returned to their hometown and lived away from their parents after spending some time outdoors.
Tammana Gouda made the decision to kill him because he harboured a bitter animosity against his daughter and son-in-law.

The accused attacked Bhujabala with a machete on December 17 while he was passing by the Hanuman shrine. They also threw chilli powder into his eyes.

Bhujabala, who was injured seriously, died from his wounds. Initial investigations showed that two other people helped the accused. The Savalagi police have opened an inquiry and filed a case in this regard.
