In a swift operation, the KR Nagar police have arrested two of the accused including the husband in the murder of a woman in a dowry incident case in KR Nagar on Friday.
About seven months ago Sujay Prasad son of Ramakrishna of Goragundi village in KR Nagar taluk had married Kumari daughter of Chinnaswamy of Kamaralli in Mysore taluk. At the time of the marriage a dowry amount of Rs 1,50,000 in cash and 50 grams gold was given.
