The incident was registered at Vijayapura traffic police station under sections 281 (rash driving) and 106(1) (causing death by negligence) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with relevant provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act. Vijayapura superintendent of police Laxman Nimbargi said the couple had built a new house around seven months earlier and hired Anand Rautappa Kallur, 25, to carry out the painting work.
VIJAYAPURA: A woman allegedly conspired with a painter she befriended during her house renovation to murder her husband and pass off the killing as a road accident, police said. The case initially appeared to be a road accident, according to police. The woman, her alleged lover and two others, including a minor, have been arrested in connection with the case. However, investigators grew suspicious and began examining the circumstances surrounding his death. During his visits to the house, Kallur became acquainted with Ashwini, and the two allegedly developed a relationship.
