Man kills pregnant wife, dumps body in lake

March 22, 2022

Uses Govt. car to transport body; Deceased was seven months pregnant; Accused husband arrested; Hunt on for absconding in-laws

Mysuru: An outsourced employee of the Agriculture Department has allegedly murdered his seven months pregnant wife by assaulting her physically and later suffocating her to death on Friday night.

He later took the body in the Department car and dumped it into Belavadi Lake.

The deceased has been identified as Ashwini (23), daughter of Swamy and Lakshmi couple of Udbur village in the taluk. Ashwini had married one Pramod, son of Nandeesh of Mydanahalli after they had fallen in love.

An outsourced car driver at the Agriculture Department, Pramod had married Ashwini on June 13, 2021. Everything was running smooth initially in their family and Pramod was taking good care of Ashwini. As days passed by, Pramod, encouraged by his family members, began to harass Ashwini and used to pressurise her to get money from her parents’ house. He had also taken away the gold jewellery of his wife and had pledged them, according to the complaint.

Later, Ashwini’s parents brought them to their house at Nanneshwara Layout in Hinkal and made arrangements for their (daughter and son-in-law) stay. Here too Pramod began to harass her and on Friday night, he (Pramod) assaulted Ashwini and suffocated her to death.

He later took the body of Ashwini in the Department car, dumped it into the lake at Belavadi, returned home and went to work the next day.

But on Sunday afternoon, Pramod went to Vijayanagar Police Station and informed the Police about the incident.

The Cops later took Pramod to Belavadi Lake and with the help of expert divers and Fire & Emergency Services personnel, got the body of Ashwini fished out from the lake at about  4 pm yesterday.

Vijayanagar Police, who have registered a case, arrested Pramod and are on a look out for his father, mother and sister, who   are absconding.

The Police, after conducting Mahazar, shifted the body to MMC&RI mortuary for post-mortem. Ashwini, who used to call her parents everyday had not called them the entire day on Saturday, which gave rise to doubts. Even calls made by Ashwini’s parents to her phone did not connect, following which they went to her house.

As Ashwini was not at her in-law’s house and no one gave proper information about her, Ashwini’s sister Yashaswini had lodged a missing complaint at Vijayanagar Police Station on Saturday.

Pre-planned…

After assaulting Ashwini and suffocating her to death, Pramod, who had brought the Department car to his house, took the body in the Government car and dumped the body into the lake in Belavadi.

The Police, who arrested Pramod after he revealed of committing the crime, was subjected to interrogation during which the Cops came to know that as Pramod had planned the crime, he had brought the Agriculture Department car to his house to shift the body elsewhere.

    An example of the wonderful ancient culture that PM Modi-who himself abandoned his wife after marriage, often boasts to foreign leaders about his country’s culture.
    .This ancient culture has a history of harassing and killing the married women with demands of dowry, money etc.. by the husband’s family and will stop at nothing including the murder of a pregnant woman.
    One can see how hollow the claims of this nitwit Chakravarty Sulibele, about Mother India, when incidents of this type=there are massive numbers of them, proving this country never emerged from the dark ages, even though PM Modi brags about the technology achievements.

    @Chamanlal
    Well, an attention-seeking imbecile called Chakravarty Sulibele, delivers a nonsensical talk about the kindness of Mother India, whose children like young married women are murdered in large numbers by their own husbands and mother-in-laws, when they fail to deliver the almost impossible sums of money demanded. This is his Mother India!!

    You are a mentally sick person! I will not be surprised, you blaming M0di for the reason of your birth! Get well soon.

    You are illiterate as you cannot understand, what I posted. Typical thick head imbecile. A dimwit cretin.
    i Pointed our your wonderful PM Modi anadndoned his wife too-a woman who was badly treated by him by doing so,

  6. Howdy, Modi! says:

    Hey Nammi
    Your very poor education shows in your post. Your Modi deserted his wife after marriage. It happened at a time when women were not enpowered to lead an independent life. That was what @Chamanlal posted
    . I would go further and say, these dowri-related murders are happening all over India, even in Modi’s Varanasi constituency. He has done nothing about this -a social evil in this modern time-2022
    Your brain does not have enough cells to grasp the above.
