Mother Allegedly Gets Son Murdered with the Help of Her Lover

A shocking murder case has come to light in Karnataka, where a 44 year old woman, Meena Narayan, allegedly conspired with her lover to kill her 24 year old son, Vijay Narayan, because he opposed her extramarital relationship. The murder took place on November 1. After completing the initial investigation, Malamaruti police in Belagavi district arrested Meena, her lover Rakesh Jamuni and four of his friends Sachin Kamble, Manoj Kamble, Tamanna Kamble and Eknath Kamble. Rakesh, a car driver from Terani village in Gadhinglaj taluk of Maharashtra, had reportedly become acquainted with Meena while she was working as a manager at a beauty parlour. Following her husband's death a few years ago, Meena had taken up the job in Bengaluru, where she and her son were living.

According to the police investigation, Vijay had objected to his mother's relationship with Rakesh and advised her to end it. This allegedly led Meena and Rakesh to plan his murder. On November 1, Meena reportedly told her son that they would travel to their native place in Belagavi. During the journey in a car with Rakesh, she allegedly mixed sleeping pills into a soft drink and gave it to Vijay. After he fell asleep, the accused allegedly strangled him with a shawl inside the car. They later reached Belagavi, dumped his body by the roadside and left. Police said preliminary investigations indicated that Rakesh's four friends had also assisted in the murder. Belagavi SP Prakash Nikam confirmed the arrests and said further details were being gathere
