A young couple from Karnataka lost their lives following a domestic dispute, leaving behind their two-year-old daughter, who narrowly escaped death. According to police, the man attempted to kill his daughter before taking his own life by hanging. The girl, however, regained consciousness and was rushed to hospital, where she is recovering well, doctors confirmed. The initial investigation suggests the incident was triggered by a minor argument between the couple that quickly turned tragic. Police have launched a full investigation into the matter.
The couple, Darshan (29), and Divyashree (25), lived in a rented house in the Jayanagar Extension area of KR Pete taluk. They had been married for three years and originally came from Hosakote village. According to the local KR Pete Town police, the incident took place early on Monday morning. It is believed that a small argument between the two quickly spiralled out of control.
What Happened?
Divyashree was the first to take her own life. She died by hanging inside the house. When Darshan found her body, he appears to have lost all reason. He then attempted to strangle their two-year-old daughter. The little girl lost consciousness, and Darshan believed she had died. Shortly after, he too took his own life by hanging.
However, the child was still alive. She regained consciousness and neighbours or family members rushed her to hospital in time. Doctors confirmed that the girl is now safe and out of danger.
Darshan worked as a car driver and also helped with farming. Divyashree worked as a paramedic. Police are now investigating the case to find out what triggered the argument and what led to such a devastating outcome.
