A hotel worker belonging to Gulbarga in Karnataka was brutally murdered by his friend for marrying the latter's sister, at Sitarambagh near Mangalhat on Tuesday.
According to information received, Lakshman of Gulbarga came to the city along with his family including his sister Kavitha. The deceased Amar had migrated to the city from the same place and was working in a hotel. Both the assailant and the deceased knew each other very well.
The deceased befriended Lakshman's sister Kavitha and both decided to get married. But Lakshman turned down their proposal vehemently stating that Amar's status didn't befit their family.
Disgusted by Lakshman's attitude, Amar and Kavita eloped on September 8 and got married in Benguluru. An angry Lakshman went to Benguluru in search of the couple and successfully convinced them to return to Hyderabad.
But Lakshman, who bore a grudge against Amar, took him on his bike to Sitarambagh on some pretext and murdered him with boulders.
