Mysuru, May 26: A 43-year-old techie murdered his wife and daughter before attempting to kill himself at his residence in Vijayanagar Fourth Stage, here on the eve of his 12th wedding anniversary. 

According to the police, Prajwal was under depression as he lost his job after the company locked out. Even Savitha resigned from her job. According to sources, joblessness had destroyed peace in their family.

Police said that on May 23 Prajwal killed Savitha by slitting her throat during the fight at their house in Basavanahalli. Minutes later, he went to his in-laws’ house in KHB Colony where their daughter Sinchana was playing with friends. He brought her home, killed her on the ground floor and shifted her body to a room upstairs by evening.

Prajwal spent the night with the bodies of his wife and daughter. He left home on Thursday morning and returned late in the evening with a pesticide bottle. “On the night of his 12th wedding anniversary, i.e. on May 24, he decided to kill himself. Unable to drink pesticide, he cut his throat and wrist. Later, he called his father seeking help,” police said.

It was around 1am that his father Ramachandra rushed home and shifted Prajwal to Apollo Hospital. Ramachandra called the control room and the cops reached the crime scene at 2.30am. “Prajwal is out of danger. He will remain in the ICU under observation for some time,” said police, quoting the doctors.

Cops suspect a financial issue could have triggered the fight between the couple. Family sources said the two had purchased their Basavanahalli home for Rs 90 lakh in 2017 and moved to Mysuru recently as they could not get suitable jobs in Bengaluru. Their daughter was studying in Class 4 at a private school in Mysuru.

Kill the criminal by hanging in public. Non-sense. Why the hell he killed his wife & innocent baby. He killed them without mercy and when it comes to his term he called his father for help.

Why people die for money money money. Money is not everything. We need little bit of food to fill our belly. Why more people from Hindu community take these extreme step. I think they need regular classes of Vedas / Puranas like Muslims get their basic education in Madrasas. Islam teaches self killing is forbidden.

 

Dear Chaddis, instead of making Anti-social activities, please make some arrangements to your own people to learn about Hindu scriptures and encourage them.

Bengaluru, May 24: Karnataka Tourism Minister CT Ravi said that coronavirus lockdown has severely marred the tourism industry in the state and the government will revive it in a phased manner.

"It would be beneficial if hotels are opened keeping in mind few restrictions. At present, the tourism industry has fallen flat making it very difficult to promote tourism in the state," Ravi said.

"Our department has planned to promote tourism in a phased manner. In the first phase, we would focus on native tourism; then in the second phase, we will promote inter-district travel; in the third phase, we will put weight behind inter-state tourism and in the fourth phase, we would be promoting international travel and tourism," he added.

Karnataka's COVID-19 count surges to 1,958 with 216 new cases of the virus reported in the last 24 hours, said the Health Department in a bulletin on Saturday.

Out of the total number of cases, 1,307 patients are active cases and 608 patients have been discharged. The total number of fatalities due to COVID-19 in the state has risen to 42.
