A photographer was found murdered in Puttur
The Puttur Rural Police arrested four persons said to be involved in the abduction and murder of a photographer from Mysuru.
The police gave the names of the arrested persons as Balakrishna alias Subbaih Rai, his son Prashant, Prashant’s wife Jayalakshmi and their neighbour Jeevan Prasad.
According to the police, the photographer, 58-year-old Jagadish, had taken a two-acre agriculture land in Aryapu village of Puttur taluk on lease three years ago and had allowed his uncle Balakrishna to cultivate it.

A team of agricultural scientists and students from Iowa State University, U.S., visited the expansive farmlands of Kollengode earlier this week. The 14-member delegation, led by Ajay Nair, professor of agriculture, and Catherine Suboda, associate professor, studied various farming practices being followed in and around the region.
