Father stabs girl to death for marrying against his wishes

A 21-year-old girl was allegedly stabbed to death by her father for marrying against her family's wishes. The incident happened in Gajnur Taluk of Shimoga district.

The victim, Bhavya, married Somashekar, who she met while working in a garment factory in Bangalore. Perumal, her father, was against their marriage.

Bhavya, however, went against her father's wish and married Somashekar. The couple moved to Bangalore nine months ago. On Wednesday, Bhavya and Somashekhar reached Shimoga to attend a function.

When Perumal came to know about it, he confronted them. In the ensuing melee, he stabbed Bhavya to death. She was four months pregnant.
