In a tragic incident in Gangavathi taluk, Koppal district, an 18-year-old student named Sai Venkat Manideep reportedly stabbed his father, mother, and elder sister after being advised to stop playing online mobile games. The attack took place on the night of June 6 in Hosa Ayodhya village, resulting in the deaths of his father, Venkat Naidu, aged 45, and his sister, Pragathi, aged 19. His mother, Soujanya, sustained serious injuries and is currently receiving treatment alongside Manideep at VIMS Hospital in Ballari. The family had shared dinner before the attack, which began around 10:30 PM when Manideep allegedly turned off the lights and launched his assault. His grandfather, Tatarao, alerted neighbors after hearing the commotion. Preliminary investigations suggest that the attack was unprovoked and stemmed from Manideep's anger over gaming restrictions. Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding this violent act.
