It is learnt that there used to be frequent fights between them over illicit affair.
On Friday morning, Guruswamy, along with his family members, had gone to his field to harvest cotton. At about 5 pm, when Guruswamy’s family members returned home, Mahadevaswamy, who went to the field reportedly threw chilli powder into the eyes of Guruswamy and strangled him to death with a towel.
