Woman dies two weeks after being stabbed by brother, nephew in Bengaluru

Bengaluru: An elderly woman who was stabbed during a family dispute has succumbed to her injuries, police said.

Mageshwari, a resident of Ambedkar Nagar in Adugodi, was allegedly attacked by her younger brother Manivannan, his son Manikiran, and two family friends, Stephen and Abhishek.

The family hails from Tamil Nadu.

Mageshwari’s granddaughter, Charulatha, was married to Manikiran, but had separated from him due to differences and was living with her grandmother.

Despite repeated attempts by Manikiran and his family to reconcile, she refused to return.

On March 25, Manikiran went to Mageshwari’s house and picked a quarrel. The situation escalated when they tried to forcibly take Charulatha with them.

When Mageshwari intervened, she was allegedly assaulted and stabbed. She sustained severe injuries, was admitted to hospital, and succumbed on Saturday.

Adugodi police have taken all the accused into custody and are interrogating them.
