Kundapur: One Raghavendra Poojari (31) was badly beaten up and left with broken limbs allegedly by the relatives of a woman with whom he had an affair. The incident took place in Bijur panchayat near Uppunda on the night of July 14, Saturday.
It is learnt, Poojari had an affair with a neighbouring mother of two and was living with her for the past three years ever since she separated from her husband.
Their affair had continued even when the family of the woman lodged a complaint stating their daughter had been kidnapped. Though the woman was sent back to her parental home, the two had begun to meet much to the fury of some relatives who after threatening Poojari several times finally chose to attack him.
It is learnt, the assault was so brutal that Raghavendra is now left with broken limbs and completely dependent on others.
Byndoor police are conducting investigations.
