Prime accused Meena Narayan
Belagavi : Police have arrested six persons, including a Bengaluru woman, and taken a juvenile into custody for allegedly conspiring to murder her 24-year-old son after he reportedly objected to her relationship with another man. Investigations revealed that Meena had allegedly conspired with Rakesh Parashuram Jamuni, 34, with whom she was in a relationship, to eliminate her son, according to police. After he lost consciousness, the accused allegedly strangled him inside the vehicle.
Police said Rakesh and his associates allegedly lured Vijay into a car and served him a soft drink mixed with sleeping pills. The body was later dumped in a roadside drain along the highway before the accused fled, police said. City police commissioner Prakash Nikam said six accused, identified as Rakesh Jamuni, Meena Narayan, Sachin Kamble, Manoj Kamble, Tammanna Kamble and Ekanath Kamble, have been arrested in connection with the murder.
Vijay had reportedly opposed the relationship, leading to tensions within the family. A juvenile in conflict with the law has also been taken into custody. He commended the work of the police officers and staff—led by BR Gaddekar, inspector of Malmaruti police station
