Mysuru: A City Court has sentenced a 34-year-old man to three years imprisonment besides imposing a penalty of Rs. 1.10 lakh on him for attempting to murder a widow, who refused to love him. Prakash, a resident of Gopalapura in Jayapura hobli of the taluk, is the one who has been sentenced. Bhavya of Mavinahalli had married one Mahesh of Devarahosahalli in Nanjangud a few years ago. But Mahesh died a few months after marriage due to illness, following which Bhavya returned to Mavinahalli and worked for a garments factory at Belavadi to make a living.
Even as she worked for the garments factory, she got introduced to Prakash who worked in a nearby industry. Sometime later, Prakash began to pester Bhavya to love him, which she refused.
