Man kills two children after spat with wife over chicken curry

November 17, 2016

Bengaluru, Nov 17: A 27-year-old man killed his two sons on Wednesday after having a spat with his wife the previous night over chicken curry.

chickenPolice are looking for the accused, Satish Kumar, a plumber and resident of Beereshwaranagar, off Kanakapura Road in south Bengaluru.

Police said Shivashankar, 5, and Aditya, 4, who attended an anganwadi in RBI Layout, were strangled by their father. The older boy was also hit on the head with a blunt object.

The incident came to light around 1pm, when the children's mother, Jyothi, went to pick them up from the anganwadi. She was told Satish had picked them up at noon. When she reached home, Jyothi, who works as a household help, found the children dead on floor. Satish was missing, police said.

Police said the neighbours had told them that the couple, who had married seven years ago, fought often, and Satish, an alcoholic, regularly beat Jyothi.

On Tuesday night, Satish lost his temper as the chicken curry was not spicy enough, police said. He asked Jyothi to cook it again. "Jyothi refused saying it was late and she was tired. A furious Satish beat her black and blue. We could her screams and the cries of their sons," Bhagyamma, a neighbor told the police.

On Wednesday, Satish left home around 8am while Jyothi and the two children left around 9am. "Jyothi usually dropped her sons at the anganwadi before she went to work," Bhagyamma told police.

Bengaluru, May 29: A cost-effective state of the art glove box testing booth for swab collection was inaugurated by Karnataka Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar at Victoria hospital.

Inaugurating the specially designed booth for safer, easier and quicker testing, Medical Education Minister Dr Sudhakar said that the portable booths can be used at border check posts and hot spots.

"The testing method involves the collection of samples from inside a box of aluminium and glass. The suspected corona virus-infected individual, whose samples are being taken, has to walk up to the booth and stand in front of the glass exterior. The healthcare worker inside the kiosk collects the sample and then, follows the sanitisation process before proceeding to take the next sample. The collection process, fully contactless, gets over in five minutes," the Minister said.

Dr Sudhakar also said: "This booth significantly reduces manpower requirement and the need for PPE kits. The main advantages of this procedure are that it needs fewer healthcare workers and strictly adheres to the norms of social distancing. 

The booth is low-cost. Each model costs about Rs 15,000-20,000."
It is also portable and can be mounted on a vehicle and transported to any location.

It can be particularly useful for collecting samples in hot spots and border checkpoints, he added.
