Shocking: Married Man Murders Girlfriend After She Refuses Marriage by Dumped Car Into Lake
Hassan (The Uttam Hindu): A chilling murder has shocked Karnataka’s Hassan district, where a married man brutally killed his girlfriend simply because she refused to marry him. The accused even tried to disguise the crime as a road accident, but the police uncovered the sinister truth.
The shocking incident took place in Chandanahalli village, Belur Taluk. According to police, the victim, 32-year-old Shweta, had been living with her parents after separating from her husband. She had been in contact with Ravi, her colleague from Hassan, for several years. Though Ravi was already married, he constantly pressured Shweta to marry him, claiming he would divorce his wife to start a new life with her.
However, Shweta firmly rejected his proposal, which enraged Ravi to the point of planning her murder.
On Sunday evening, Ravi allegedly lured Shweta into his car and drove her to the banks of Chandanahalli Lake. There, he deliberately pushed the vehicle into the water. Shweta remained trapped inside and drowned, while Ravi managed to escape by swimming out.
To mislead authorities, Ravi claimed it was a tragic accident—that the car had lost control and plunged into the lake, and he had narrowly survived.
Initially, the police registered it as an accident. But Shweta’s family raised suspicions against Ravi and filed a complaint. Upon deeper investigation, inconsistencies in Ravi’s statement, the postmortem report, and eyewitness accounts exposed the crime.
It became clear that this was not an accident but a well-planned murder. The Aharahalli police have since arrested Ravi on charges of murder and are investigating whether anyone else was involved in the conspiracy. The brutal killing has sparked outrage in Hassan, with locals demanding strict justice for Shweta and harsher punishments in crimes against women.
