In comparison to fiction, a real -life conspiracy twist in stranger, a man who mourned his wife, performed his last rites, and allegedly spent years behind bars for her assassination, when she returned to the city, she walked too much alive and handed over with her lover.
The saga was revealed in the Basavanhalli village Kushalnagar Taluk, Kodagu district of Karnataka, where a local resident Suresh once lived a quiet life with his wife Mallig. It was until 2019, when she suddenly disappeared without any mark.
Suresh, desperate for the answer, found the comb through the family network and whispering an alleged extramritel affair. Despite heartbreaking, he called Mallige, at least to stay in contact for his children. He never responded. Concerned about being implicated, he contacted the Kushalnagar police in 2021 and filed a report of a missing person.
But after this there was a cruel turn of luck.
A skeleton, a funeral, a wrong allegation
In 2022, the police called Suresh, claiming that his wife’s remains were found near Bettadapura in Periapatna Taluk. Along with her mother -in -law, she was taken to see a skeleton and was told that it was his wife. With heavy heart, he conducted his funeral.
However, soon after this, the authorities accused Suresh of killing his wife. Despite denying bravery, he was arrested and put in jail.
This was only when there was no genetic match for the family of the malliz from an forensic DNA analysis of skeletal remains that Suresh was thrown out and released from jail.
Years later, on 1 April, 2025, Suresh’s nightmare took a real turn, when his friends saw the mollij carelessly in a hotel in Madikery – alive, well, and with her lover. Surprisingly, he took pictures and alerted the authorities.
The police immediately took the woman into custody and produced her before a court in Mysuru.
