The tragic incident in the Kodagu district of Karnataka has shocked the community, with the accused in the murder case allegedly resorting to suicide. The man, identified as Prakash, was found hanging near his home after allegedly killing a 16-year-old girl and fleeing with her severed head.
The circumstances surrounding the incident are disturbing, particularly as the girl and the accused were reportedly supposed to get engaged. However, officials from the Women and Child Development Department intervened and convinced the girl's parents to call off the marriage.

The motive behind the murder remains unclear, leaving authorities puzzled as they continue their investigation. Meanwhile, efforts are underway to locate and recover the severed head of the victim, adding to the gravity of the situation.
