Body of woman found in Biligeri River

Madikeri: The body of a 37-year-old woman was found in the Biligeri River two days after she leapt into its waters along with her daughter.

The victim, Usha, was found on Monday, after expert swimmers waded into the waters of the river, said Madikeri division chief sub-inspector Chandrashekhar. Usha’s husband Mohana , a labourer, on espying the duo jumping into the river, had followed suit.

While he was able to rescue his 23-year-old daughter, he was unable to save Usha.

Police said that a conflict with elders in the couple’s home had prompted Usha to take the extreme step. Madikeri police have registered a case of unnatural death .
