Man Stuffs Explosives In Lover's Mouth, Blows Her Up In Another Shocker From Karnataka

<p>A 20-year-old married woman from Kerala was allegedly murdered by her lover in Mysuru in a gruesome manner, police said on Monday. The victim, identified as Darshitha, a native of Hunsur taluk&rsquo;s Gerasanahalli village, died after the accused placed an explosive substance in her mouth, causing fatal injuries. According to police, the accused, Siddaraju, who is also a relative of the woman, attempted to mislead investigators by claiming that she had died due to a mobile phone explosion. He was later arrested after confessing to the crime.</p> <h3>Victim Married To Dubai-Based Driver&nbsp;</h3> <p>Investigators said that the victim had been married since 2022 to Subhas A P, a Dubai-based driver from Kerala&rsquo;s Kannur district. The couple has a two-year-old daughter. Kerala Police reported that Darshitha went missing from her matrimonial home on August 22, along with 30 sovereigns of gold ornaments and Rs 4 lakh in cash. A theft case was registered by her mother-in-law, who found both Darshitha and the child missing.</p> <p>Preliminary investigations in Karnataka revealed that Darshitha had handed over her daughter to her parents before meeting Siddaraju. The two had been in a long-standing relationship, but police said the woman had recently begun distancing herself, which appears to have led to quarrels between them.</p> <h3>Accused Tried To Pass Off As Mobile Blast&nbsp;</h3> <p>Police said the incident took place inside a lodge room where the duo was staying. After the explosion, Siddaraju shouted that a mobile phone had burst, but when lodge staff entered the room, no device was found. His inconsistent statements raised suspicion, and the police were alerted.</p> <p>Mysuru Superintendent of Police Vishnuvardhana N said that forensic experts are examining the chemical powder used in the killing. "We are further investigating the reason behind this murder. He used a chemical powder combination to kill her, which is currently being examined by the forensic experts," he added, as per the report.</p> <p>Following interrogation, Siddaraju confessed to the murder, police said.&nbsp;</p>
