Sumant Murder Case | Dark Secrets Behind a Teen’s Death in Dakshina Kannada

Описание: A shocking murder case has emerged from Odilnala village in Belthangady taluk of Dakshina Kannada district, involving the death of 15-year-old student Sumant. Initial assumptions of accidental drowning were ruled out after forensic and police investigation revealed clear signs of a pre-planned murder.

Sumant had left home early in the morning to visit a temple during the Dhanurmasa period and did not return. Later, clothes and footwear were found near a pond close to the house. Search operations by locals and the fire department led to the recovery of the body from the pond.

Injuries found on the body raised serious suspicion. During further investigation, police and forensic experts recovered a knife and a torch from the pond, believed to have been discarded after the murder. According to the post-mortem report from Wenlock Hospital, Mangaluru, the victim had been attacked three times on the back of the head with a sharp weapon. Scratch marks on the body indicate that resistance occurred before death.

Intelligence inputs suggest ongoing property disputes or old enmity involving close relatives of the family. Based on this angle, four special police teams have been formed under the guidance of senior district police officials. A close relative has been taken into custody for questioning at an undisclosed location.

Investigators suspect that Sumant was intercepted while heading to the temple, attacked from behind, and later thrown into the pond while unconscious. The case has become a major challenge for the police as efforts continue to identify the actual perpetrator.

The death of the Class 10 student has devastated the family and caused widespread concern among local residents. Public demand for strict punishment for the offender has intensified. The investigation is ongoing.
