Tumakuru: Three persons including a father and son drowned during immersion of Lord Ganesh idol at Ranganahatti lake in Turuvekere taluk here on Sunday, police said. 

The deceased have been identified as Revanna (aged about 50), his son Sharath (26), and Dayanand (22).

The incident took place when Sharath and Dayanand entered the water body to immerse the Ganesh idol after the procession. 

They were allegedly unable to swim as their legs were caught in sludge, and called those on the banks of the lake for help. Revanna immediately jumped into the water, but he too couldn't swim and all the three drowned, police said.

Police and Fire department personnel have reached the spot and a search is on to recover the bodies, officials said, adding that a case has been registered.

Kollam: The Chithara police on Sunday arrested 26-year-old Instagram influencer Mubeena, accusing her of stealing 17 sovereigns of gold ornaments from her sister-in-law’s residence. 

The complaint was filed by Muneera, who reported that her wedding chain (6 sovereigns) and a bangle (1 sovereign), along with other ornaments, were found missing in early October. Muneera alleged that Mubeena took the gold while the family was out of the house.

After reviewing CCTV footage, police identified Mubeena as the individual responsible for the theft on September 30. Though she initially denied involvement, Mubeena later confessed, citing a desire to fund a lavish lifestyle as her motive.

“During further questioning, Mubeena admitted to a prior incident of stealing gold from a friend’s house,” the police stated. She was taken into custody under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), signaling a more thorough investigation into her past activities.

Bengaluru: In a chilling case of moral policing gone violent, three men have been arrested for the brutal murder of a 21-year-old college student at a farmhouse near Bengaluru. The accused, identified as Chandru, Nagesh, and Murali from Honnapura, allegedly killed the student, Punith, following an altercation.

Punith, a BCom student at a private college, had gone to the Chikkenahalli Farmhouse on October 26 with seven classmates, including two women, for a casual outing. According to police reports, the group was enjoying their time when the accused, all locals, became aware of the gathering.

At around 10:30 pm, the three men stormed the farmhouse and began recording videos of Punith’s female classmates, who were in the swimming pool. They verbally abused the students, questioning their presence and demanding to know who had permitted them to use the farmhouse.

When Punith protested against their actions, the situation escalated violently. He was viciously attacked with a wooden log, sustaining severe head injuries. Punith was rushed to a nearby hospital but succumbed to his injuries three days later. Another student, Likith, was also assaulted but suffered only minor injuries.

The Ramanagara Rural police have registered a case of murder against the suspects, who are now in custody. Further investigations are ongoing.
