BENGALURU: The husband tied his wife’s body in a sack and carried it away as he did not have money to call a vehicle. The incident took place in Chamarajanagar district of Karnataka. Ravi, an acre trader, carried the body of his wife Kallamma.
Ten days ago, Ravi and Kallamma came to Chamarajanagar as natives of Mandya to sell acreage and make a living. Both were living in a tent near the forest department building. According to police, Kallamma died on Tuesday. But as he did not have the money to call a vehicle to move their dead body, Ravi tied the dead body in a sack and carried it on his shoulders.
After receiving information that a man was carrying a bag under suspicious circumstances, the police arrived and asked him to open it. The police were shocked to see the woman’s body inside the bag. Later, the body was shifted to the hospital for post-mortem as it was an unnatural death. As there was no mystery in the death, Ravi cremated the body with the help of the police.
The police informed that Ravi carried the dead body to be buried on the banks of Suvarnavati river. The video of Ravi carrying the dead body was circulated on social media. The police gave money to Ravi for food and other things.
