Mandya/Hyderabad, Nov 15 (Maxim News): A woman who was presumed murdered has been found alive after seven years in Karnataka. Her disappearance had led to a murder case against an innocent man.
The case has raised questions about the police investigation. The accused man reportedly spent two-and-a-half years in jail before securing bail.
The woman, identified as Manju, belongs to Karnataka’s Mandya district. She reportedly left home in 2019 after her family arranged a marriage against her wishes.
Manju’s Disappearance Led to Murder Case
After leaving home, Manju reportedly contacted a man named Rajesh at a bus stand. Rajesh called her family and informed them that she intended to marry the man she loved.
Police later suspected Rajesh because Manju’s last phone call reportedly came from his number. In August 2021, police registered a murder case against him.
Investigators accused Rajesh of killing Manju and dumping her body in the Cauvery river. However, the then Inspector Prabhakar reportedly filed a chargesheet based only on witness statements.
Rajesh subsequently spent around two-and-a-half years in jail. He was later released on bail.
Lawyers Trace Missing Woman to Nagamangala
Rajesh’s lawyers reportedly identified Manju living with her husband in Karnataka’s Nagamangala area.
Her discovery after seven years has brought the case back into focus. It has also raised serious questions about the investigation and the evidence used against Rajesh.
Further details about the circumstances surrounding Manju’s disappearance and her discovery are awaited.
