Double murder in Mysuru
The Hindu
The accused is the son of one of the victims
A 56-year-old man and a 48-year-old woman were allegedly hacked to death by his son in the latter’s house in Dadadahalli on the outskirts of Mysuru on October 21 night.
Police said the accused Sagar, who is in his late twenties, stormed into the house of Latha, 48, in Dadadahalli before unleashing a murderous assault on her and his father Shivaprakash, 56, with a sickle. Latha’s son Nagarjuna, who was also assaulted when he tried to save his mother, has been admitted to a hospital with injuries on his hand.

The Union Home Ministry has announced a major policy shift for ex-Agniveers, raising their reservation in Group C posts of the Central Armed Police Forces from 10% to 50%, starting with the Border Security Force. Ex-Agniveers are exempt from physical tests but must clear written exams, with a minimum qualification of Class 10 pass. The move aims to provide stable government jobs for Agniveers retiring in 2026, sparking debate on its impact on other candidates.
