Udupi, Jul 25: Two persons have been arrested by police in Kolar on charge of killing a Dalit in connection with the tragic love story of a Udupi college girl.
Kumar, a 55-year-old Dalit, who was brutally attacked on Friday in what is suspected to be a case of vendetta, died at a hospital in Bengaluru on Sunday afternoon.
Kumar was not happy with his niece's relationship with Abhilash, who hailed from another community. To put an end to their relationship, Kumar had his niece admitted to a college in Udupi.
However, on learning that Abhilash continued to remain in touch with her, Kumar allegedly had him killed in September 2015, said Kumar's nephew Satish. Kumar was arrested and released on bail a few days ago.
On Friday, Vishwanath and a few others are reported to have attacked Kumar, who was returning home from Kolar bus stand along with Satish.
