A 30-year-old man stabbed his wife at Kumbarkoppal in Mysuru on Saturday afternoon.

Although she was rushed to KR hospital, she failed to respond to the treatment. Harshitha (21) is the deceased. Mahadev, a native of Beerambaadi of Gundlupet taluk, is the accused. He had also allegedly assaulted and injured his mother-in-law Geetha, who tried to stop him, the police said.

Harshitha, who was married one-and-half years ago, had reportedly come to her parents’ place due to issues with Mahadev. When Mahadev came to take her back, even as Harshitha refused to go with him, Mahadev, who had reportedly brought knife in his bag, allegedly stabbed Harshitha, according to the police.

The Metgalli police have registered the case and have arrested the accused.
