According to the police, Gangappa had married Lakshmi seven years ago after the death of his first wife. But, it is alleged that she became close with her neighbour Redappa. The couple used to quarrel frequently over the issue. “On Monday night at around 12 am, three of them had a drink together at Gangappa’s house. When Gangappa enquired Redappa over his relationship with Lakshmi the argument ensued between them. Apparently angered over it, they assaulted Gangappa with wooden logs killing him on the spot,” the police said.
