A youngster was murdered in Koppal city over an interfaith relationship, allegedly by a rival suitor. The accused surrendered after the brutal attack. Police suspect premeditation and are probing possible negligence, as the killer had posted threats online before the incident.
The pilgrims sang 'bhajans' and conducted worship at his residence, where Khashim's family joined in, along with hundreds of 'maldharis'—those who commit to visiting Sabarimala.
The brothers were reportedly assaulted, abused, and shoved around for seeking a haircut from two hairdressers in the district's Hosalli village, Koppal Police said.
