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, Jan 10: The National Commission for Scheduled Tribes (NCST), which met with officials of the Social Welfare Department Thursday, has urged the state government to increase the reservation provided to the ST community.

The Commission's suggestion comes even as a committee headed by Justice Nagamohan Das is currently studying a demand for increase of reservation for the community from the existing 3% to 7.5%.

Addressing mediapersons on Thursday, Commission Chairperson Nand Kumar Sai, said the Commission had discussed the issue with the Social Welfare Department, Karnataka, asking officials to expedite the process.

In response to this suggestion, Social Welfare Department Principal Secretary G Kumar Naik said the government would take a call based on the Nagamohan Das Committee's report.

A meeting was held between members of the National ST Commission and the Social Welfare Department Thursday with regard to various projects taken up by the department.

In June last year, the then Kumaraswamy-led coalition government constituted the Justice Nagamohan Das Committee, after protests from members of the Valmiki community for an increase in reservation to 7.5%. At present, Karnataka provides 15% reservation for SCs, 3% for STs and 32% for other backward classes (OBC).

The national commission also urged the state government to ensure permanent faculty in all the 824 residential institutions run by the department. At present, as much as 50% of the faculty in these institutions have been hired on a contractual basis. "We have assured that the recruitment will be done in a short time," Naik told mediapersons.
