Beltangady, May 5: A youth enticed by the mirage of one-sided love and hope of getting reciprocation for his love from the girl, either did not have time to think clearly or was not willing to to do so before succumbing to the urge to commit savagely act and kill Suresh Naik (30), resident of Maldange House in Malavantige village in the taluk. His plan, which was set to be doomed from the moment it was conceived, fell flat, and the main accused, Anand Naik, and his accomplices have been nabbed.
Surprisingly the person who masterminded the entire operation happened to be Anand Naik (35), resident of Navara Dharmagudi in the taluk and priest of Goddess Adishakti Mahamayi temple at Navara. He was already married with two kids, but this did not deter him from dreaming of having a second wife, in spite of being not sure whether the girl was ready to be his wife.
Victim - Suresh
Although the perpetrators of this crime did everything to destroy evidence to ensure that the police do not get any clues of this murder, like burning the body of the victim with petrol, and burning the documents the victim had brought with him for claiming money under 'Gangakalyana' scheme of the government as per the fake call he received, the criminals could not save themselves.
Anand has now left his wife and two children high and dry, spoiled the dreams of his own children, besides finding himself inside the jail, although as per his dream, he should have married the girl he loved and accepted her as his second wife. This incident goes on to prove that one should have practical approach in life, dreams do not come true if they ruin someone else's dreams, and crime does not pay.
