Karnataka police confirm murder of nurse Swati Byadgi

Karnataka Police confirmed the murder of nurse Swati Ramesh Byadgi, who went missing on March 3. Her body was found in the Tungabhadra River on March 6. One suspect, Nayaz, has been arrested, while two others are still at large. The case has drawn attention from Hindu activists and former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, who allege it is linked to "love jihad." They claim that Nayaz deceived Swati and killed her after rejecting her for being from a different religion. Police have formed special teams to investigate the case. They believe Swati was murdered after an altercation with the suspects, who then disposed of her body in the river.
