Kundapur, May 19: In a tragic incident that occurred on Monday May 19 at Mogli, Shiroor here, a mother-in-law in a fit of rage allegedly killed her daughter-in-law with a pair of scissors.

The deceased has been identified as Nagaratna (27), wife of Manjunath.


Chandravathi

Sources said that there were constant quarrels on a daily basis between Chandravathi and her daughter-in-law Nagaratna at their home.

On Monday, Nagaratna was getting ready to go to her mother's house in Uppunda, Ambagilu for her sister's wedding which was to be held soon. At around 11 am a fight broke out between them, during which an enraged Chandravati reportedly drove a pair of scissors into Nagaratna.

The accused Chandravathi runs a tailoring business from home. She has been taken into custody.

Nagaratna's husband is a carpenter in Sirsi. The couple have three children.

The body has been shifted to Government hospital, Byndoor.

Investigations are on and a case has been registered in the Byndoor police station.

    Very very Sad state. Anger is very bad. This all happened within a fraction of second. Burning anger. With this episode we have to learn a lesson always keep calm. If one person is angry second should be calm. Life is lost forever. She should also understand she was also a daughter-in-law (once). May her soul rest in peace. Amen.

    Here few have commented that if problems in someone life then they should be sent for counseling or some people should talk to them and find out the solution.

    But there are people they do not want to share their problems or when asked if they tell "dont interfere in our life".

    Now a days life has become utter non-sense. No one got patience and understanding.Humanity is no where can be seen.

    Hi Nancy, for a family living below the poverty line, perhaps uneducated, where and who will counsel them??

    Today most (except some true friends) on disclosing your problems will feel happy and talk behind the back rather than offer help our counseling!!

    To advise it is easy, but the ground reality is totally different!!

    Only divine power can save people in such anger filled situations!!

    Hi Rudy, yes that is the ground reality. As you said Davine power required,to overcome all these problems.

    Now a days counseling has become like Fashion. No one wants know what is the main problem. That is EGO, Mis-understanding and not-adjusting with one another. To have this all, prayer is an important weapon. Hope people understand this.

    Tragic Action and sad too.In this quarrel between mother in law and daughter in law is three children have to suffer,mother in law in custody,mother expired,father has to work or look after children.?To avoid conflict,is better to have a separate home ,if affordable.Here again the in law will be angry for not staying together.Most probably mother in law didnt agree for not going to her house.Now her sisters marriage also is in danger .may her Soul rest in peace.heartfelt sympathy to the Family mostly children .

    How Chandravathi became Pettist Chadravathi? It's becos of her hate-rate towards daughter-in-law, which she had developed in a course of time. So always watch your thoughts guys, you will never know when it turns into action!

    Since two women belonging to different family have to stay in one house , as per our society rules, they fight. If son in law stays in his father in laws house similar fights would happen. And we can say "Man's biggest enemy is Man."

    Sad. Anger is the work of satan and he is always looking out for vulnerable victims. Infact, moral values are missing these days it is duty of religious leader to inculcate moral values in people rather than taking part in politics.

    when you change residence it may seem bitter for few days but it will be good in long run. Both the parties can live in peace but our Indian families will never understand this fact and they in turn will blame the daughter in law for taking away her son. follow this simple rule if you want to live peacefully until you are alive.

    Not sure whom to blame here, the person who invoked other person to kill or the one who actually committed the crime. though benefit of pity goes to one who lost life my most pity goes to one who has to survive with the guilt and life time prison. Many may not agree with me , but if someone has to be blamed that is the ANGER and both had to pay for it in different way though

    It is a matter of regret that murders and vehicle accidents are on the increase in Karnataka.

    The quarrels and misunderstandings should be identified in time and the people concerned should be sent for counseling.

    This is the only answer one can find for these situations.
