Man mudered over financial dispute

A person was allegedly murdered by his family members following an argument over a financial matter at Thirupatihalli in Hassan taluk on Wednesday night. Chandrashekhar, 30, had a dispute with his parents and sisters over sharing the money the family received in the form of compensation for the piece of land they lost for the construction of a canal.

His wife Parvathi, in her complaint to Dudda Police, said that the family had received ₹ 13 lakh as compensation for the land at Shankaranahalli in Kattaya Hobli. There had been heated arguments among Chandrashekher, his mother Sarojamma, father Rama Bovi, sisters Manjula and Indra on sharing the amount. Recently Chandrashekhar had separated from the family and had been living with his wife.

Parvathi said Chandrashekhar had been to his parents’ place on Wednesday night. The family members picked up an argument on the issue of sharing the amount and killed him, she alleged. Parvathi was informed about the incident on Thursday.
