A man allegedly murdered his mother-in-law on the day of Makar Sankranti, a festival typically marked by joy and togetherness, in Belagavi. The tragic event unfolded at 11 am on Tuesday, leaving the family in deep mourning instead of celebration.
The victim, Renuka Sridhar Padumukhe (44), a resident of Kalyana Nagar, Belagavi, had come to visit her daughter, Chhaya, on the occasion of Makar Sankranti. Renuka, who had spent the morning preparing a variety of dishes for the festival, brought them to her daughter's house in Malaprabha city. However, her visit turned fatal.
