BANGALORE: A newly married woman was clubbed to death allegedly by her husband at their house in Rajagopalanagar police station limits on Wednesday night. Bheemavva (20) died on the spot and her husband Bheemappa (24) stabbed himself in the abdomen with a knife. He has been admitted in Victoria Hospital and he was out of danger, the police said.

Bheemappa of Gulbarga district had married Bheemavva three months ago. The couple, both workers, were residents of a hutment in II Stage, Peenya. Following a spat, Bheemappa hit his wife on the head with a club, the police said. The Rajagopalanagar police have registered a case.

The Central Crime Branch (CCB) officials have arrested three persons who had allegedly made away with gold ornaments worth lakhs of rupees after diverting the attention of people and salespersons at jewellery shops. The police have recovered gold ornaments estimated at Rs. 2.15 lakh from the arrested: Rustum alias Akbar Ali (40), Javid alias Abid (23) and Shabber Khan (19), all residents of Alipura in Gauribidanur taluk of Chickaballapur district. The police said that a month ago, the three had made away with gold ornaments estimated at Rs. 1.20 lakh from Chemmanur Jewellers in Hoskote after diverting the attention of salesperson.
