Woman dies of injuries

A 22-year-old woman on Friday died of injuries that were allegedly inflicted by her husband at Kallapadavu village in Puttur Rural Police station limits on Thursday night.

The police have identified the deceased as Akshata, 22. The police said that Akshata was allegedly stabbed by her husband Ganesh, 30, as the latter was not happy with the food she had prepared.

Akshata ran to her mother’s house, adjoining her house, and her husband followed her. When Ganesh reportedly attempted to attack his wife again, his mother-in-law, Kamala, and a few others prevented him and made him leave the place. Akshata was rushed to a nearby hospital where she died early on Friday.

The police are on the lookout for Ganesh.
