Belagavi Police arrest woman, six accused for murdering her son

Belagavi Police have arrested seven people, including a 44-year-old woman, on the charge of killing the woman’s 24-year-old son.

Meena Narayana, a resident of R.T. Nagar in Bengaluru, her 34-year-old friend Rakesh Parashurama Jamuni of Ichalkaranji in Maharashtra and his five associates have been arrested.

The names of four of Jamuni’s associates were given as Sachin Kamble, Manoj Kamble, Tammanna Kamble and Eknath Kamble. The other accused is a child in conflict with law.

The seven accused eliminated Meena’s son Vijaya Narayana after he objected to his widowed mother’s relationship with Jamuni, the police said.

The body was found in a drain on Kolhapur Road last week.

Investigators found strangulation marks on Vijaya Narayana’s neck and registered a murder case.

Meena visited the police station and identified the body found in the drain as that of her son Vijaya Narayana on Wednesday last.

The accused is said to have drugged the victim with a drink and killed him in Belagavi on November 1. They dumped the body in the drain and fled, the police said.
