A MAN was fatally attacked over his affair with a married woman in Bengaluru, India, Makkal Osai reported.

The man, identified only as Sreenivas, 30, was living with his lover Kiran, who had recently separated from her husband.

However, Kiran later found out that Sreenivas had another girlfriend, so she decided to break up with him and move out of their house. Despite this, Sreenivas appa­rently continued harassing Kiran by going to her new house.

Angered by this, Kiran’s three brothers and a few of their friends broke into Sreenivas’ house and slashed him to death.

Police have arrested seven people so far, including the siblings.
