Police said the husband filmed his wife’s final moments and sent the video to relatives as investigators examine possible assault and a suspected affair.

  • The couple, married for four years, had faced frequent disputes, and Bhagyashree had remained at her parents' home for nearly six weeks before Praveen Jigalur brought her back on Monday.
  • Bagalkot Superintendent Siddharth Goyal said, "The accused shared those videos with the woman's father, family members and some friends." Investigators also found blood injuries on the victim's body.

  • Investigators from the Bilagi Police Station are seeking custody of Praveen Jigalur to establish the sequence of events and examine whether beer bottles found at the scene indicate forced alcohol consumption.
