Karkala, Nov 25: Parents of Asma (24) from Durganagara in Kukkundoor village in the taluk have expressed the suspicion that their daughter was murdered. Asma had died at Hubli on Wednesday November 23 under suspicious circumstances.

Asma, daughter of Umbarabba and Alima couple, had been married to Sajid from Hubli, about four years back. Reportedly, their marital relationship had soured of late. On Wednesday, her parents received a call, stating that Asma had become ill. By the time the close relatives reached Hubli, she had breathed her last. Although the in-laws of Asma claimed it to be a case of suicide, they did not register any police complaint. Asma’s relatives brought the body here. After observing injury marks on her body, they have now begun suspecting foul play.  The body has been taken to Udupi for post mortem.

Arif Kallotte, member of the executive committee of Karnataka Minorities Development Corporation, has urged the policemen to investigate the case and find out whether Asma was murdered, or it was a case of suicide.
