Chitradurga (Karnataka), Nov 28 (IANS) Karnataka Police arrested six people and filed FIRs against 20 for murdering a 40-year-old man who eloped and married a 20-year-old woman in Chitradurga district on Thursday.

Manjunath eloped and married the woman at the Hosagudda temple in Nayakanahatti 20 days ago.
Shocked by the development, the family of the woman planned to kill him and convinced their daughter and Manjunath that they would arrange a marriage ceremony for them.
They took the woman back to their house and when Manjunath reached their residence on Wednesday, the family members of his wife attacked him with sticks, iron rods and killed him.
Chitradurga SP, Ranjith Kumar Bandaru who visited the spot stated that the parents of the deceased were also attacked by the group and they are being treated at a hospital.
Following the death of Manjunath, an audio conversation that had purportedly taken place between the deceased and the woman has surfaced.
In the audio clip, she is heard forcing Manjunath to come to her residence and take her with him, else she would end her life. In the end, Manjunath agrees to take her with him.
The police have taken up further investigation in the case.
