Bengaluru: Man alleges ‘honour’ killing after girlfriend's body found in lake

A new twist emerged in the death of a 21-year-old woman on Thursday as her boyfriend alleged that it was a case of ‘honour’ killing by her father, who opposed their relationship

The body of the woman was recovered from a lake on the outskirts of Bengaluru on Thursday. Police identified the woman as R Sahana, a resident of Harohalli near Hosur.

The deceased's father, Ramamurthy, had registered a police complaint over the incident. He claimed that his two-wheeler lost control while riding with his daughter on Tuesday, and fell into the lake.

Claiming that it was a case of accident, Ramamurthy also told the police that his daughter drowned as she did not know how to swim. A senior police officer told PTI that the father had registered a complaint with the police after the incident.
