In Kalaburagi district, Karnataka, a 27-year-old man named Amar has been arrested for the murder of Jyoti, a teacher who had lent him ₹13 lakh (approximately $15,600 USD). The incident occurred on April 4, 2023, when Jyoti repeatedly demanded repayment of the loan. Fearing legal repercussions, Amar allegedly planned her murder. He lured her to the Kamalapur-Kalmood road, where he attacked her with a sharp weapon after throwing chilli powder in her face. To destroy evidence, he set her body on fire before fleeing the scene. Police identified Amar through a complaint and subsequent investigation, leading to his arrest and confession. He has been remanded to judicial custody.
