Gadag: A family dispute over a daughter’s marriage ended in tragedy in Karnataka’s Gadag district. A man who was allegedly assaulted by his own brothers has died after undergoing treatment in hospital.

The deceased has been identified as Girishappa Alur (47). He was attacked on February 27 following an argument about his daughter’s marriage. He later died at the Gadag Institute of Medical Sciences Hospital after his condition worsened.

According to reports, Girishappa and his wife Lakshmi had recently arranged the marriage of their daughter Pavitra with a relative. However, Girishappa’s brothers had opposed the marriage from the beginning.

After the wedding, Girishappa reportedly sent his daughter to seek blessings from her grandparents at his brother’s house. During this visit, an argument broke out. His brothers questioned why they were not consulted about the marriage.

The dispute soon turned violent. It is alleged that Shivakumar Alur, Eeranna Alur, Ratnavva Alur, and Geetha Alur attacked Girishappa and his wife. Girishappa was reportedly beaten with sticks and wooden rods.

He suffered severe injuries to his head, hands, chest, and stomach. His body was covered with bruises after the assault.

The disagreement reportedly angered his brothers. The assault that followed eventually led to Girishappa’s death.

Police have registered a case and further investigation is underway.
