Mysuru Man Sentenced to Life for Wife’s Murder
MYSURU, INDIA – December 1, 2025 – A court in Mysuru has sentenced Kumar, a resident of Periyapatna taluk, to life imprisonment for the murder of his wife, Prema. The sentencing, delivered on November 26, 2025, follows a trial where the prosecution presented evidence of Kumar’s sustained harassment and eventual strangulation of Prema on November 22, 2023.
According to court documents, Kumar routinely subjected Prema to mental and physical abuse, fueled by unfounded accusations of infidelity. The fatal incident occurred after Prema returned from a wedding in K.R. Nagar taluk. Despite interventions from elders, Kumar strangled Prema with a towel while she slept. He then threatened his son, Prajwal, into silence.
Judge Roopa of the Fifth Additional District and Sessions Court, Mysuru, found Kumar guilty under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), sentencing him to life imprisonment and a fine of ₹1 lakh. He also received a two-year rigorous imprisonment sentence and a fine of ₹25,000 under Section 498(A) of the IPC, related to domestic violence.
B.E. Yogeshwar, the former public prosecutor, represented the state in the case.
