Mandya: A love episode has claimed the lives of three persons at Manchanahalli in Nagamangala taluk and the incident has come to light late. The deceased are Sowmya (name changed), a minor girl, her grandfather Chandranna (65) and the lover boy’s father Chennenahalli Somashekar (50).
Sowmya, a resident of Manchanahalli and 22-year-old Yashwanth of Honnenahalli were in love. As Sowmya’s parents came to know about the love affair, Sowmya, out of fear, reportedly consumed poison about a month ago. Unable to bear the pain after consuming poison, she had again attempted to commit suicide by hanging but was rescued by her parents. She was admitted to a nearby hospital and was later shifted to a private hospital in Bengaluru.
