Bangalore, Sep 16: A man killed his wife and five-year-old physically-challenged son by slitting their throat at his house in Rajajinagar, on Monday afternoon.

MurderRushing to Rajajinagar Police Station, Kumar Nayak, 30, a dressmaker at Bhashyam Circle, confessed he had murdered his wife Manjula Bai, 26, suspecting her fidelity, and their son Harshith, 5.

Fortuitously, his three-year-old son, Chandan, was away at a family friend’s house, when Kumar, in a sudden rush of blood and pique, committed the heinous crime.

The police have arrested Nayak. A resident of Rajajinagar IV Block, 10th Main, Rama Mandir Road, and native of Hunasikoppa, in Magadi taluk, he had married Manjula Bai seven years ago, after a brief courtship.?

Thereafter, the couple had moved to Bangalore five years ago, police said.

The couple had frequent tiffs lately over Manjula’s fidelity. On Monday, returning home around 3.30 pm, Kumar attacked his wife with a dagger who collapsed due to bleeding profusely.? Later, he slit Harshith’s throat repeatedly.

He told police inspector N?Ramesh that since his wife continued her affair despite several warnings, he decided to murder her.

Stating that it would have been difficult for his physically challenged son to fend for himself, he said, he had murdered him as well, since he did not want him to suffer in the absence of a caretaker. Harshith had lost both his legs due to a disease.

The police inspector rushed to Kumar’s house and was shocked to see the bodies lying in a pool of blood.?Later, he arrested Kumar.

“It’s really a shocking incident,” Additional Commissioner of Police (Law and Order)?Alok Kumar, who visited the spot, said.

Uma, a close family friend, said “Chandan was attached to me ever since his birth. I had come Kumar’s house on September 5. I took Chandan with me while returning home. I am shocked to hear the news.”

Observing that she had known the couple over a decade, she said Kumar is a good person, though the couple frequently quarrelled.

House owner Manjunath, describing Kumar as a polite human being, said “he did not have financial troubles.?The couple were happily married and I never found them to be fighting.”

The police clarified that Kumar just told them his wife had an affair, but did not disclose further details.

It is not known if he imagined things or Manjula Bai did have an affair, police said.

Amaravati, Jul 31: Nine people have died after allegedly consuming sanitiser in Prakasam district of Andhra Pradesh today, the police said.

Prakasam district Superintendent of Police Siddharth Kaushal said the people had been consuming sanitiser for the past few days, mixing it with water and soft drinks.

"We are also investigating whether they laced the sanitiser with any other toxic substances," the official said.

"Their family members say these people have been consuming sanitiser for the past ten days. We are sending the sanitiser stocks, being sold in the area, for examination," he added.

Kurichedu in Prakasam district has been under lockdown due to rise in coronavirus cases and hence, liquor shops have also been shut since the past few days.

Habitual drinkers were said to be consuming sanitisers that have alcohol content, apart from illicitly distilled arrack.

The police said two beggars near a temple were the first to fall victim on Thursday night. While one of them was found dead at the spot, another died in the government hospital in Darsi town, they said.

A third person was also taken to the Darsi hospital late on Thursday night after he fell unconscious but he was declared brought dead. Six others who fell ill after allegedly consuming sanitiser, died this morning.

Others who fell ill after consuming sanitiser are undergoing treatment at their residences in the village, the police added.

Surat, Jul 16: Woman police constable Sunita Yadav, who had a confrontation with a minister's son over lockdown violation which led to his arrest here in Gujarat, claimed she has resigned from service. However, a senior police official has denied it.

Prakash Kanani, the son of Gujarat Minister of State for Health Kumar Kanani, and his two friends were arrested on Sunday for allegedly violating the lockdown and night curfew orders in Surat, a COVID-19 hotspot, a senior police official earlier said.

Yadav, who is being hailed on social media for taking action against the minister's son, told news channels on Wednesday that she had put in her papers.

"I have resigned because I did not receive support from my superior officers. I was only doing my duty as a constable. It's the fault of our system that these people (like the minister's son) think they are VVIPs (very very important persons)," she said.

However, a senior police official here denied that she has resigned.

"She has not given her resignation. The inquiry is still on and technically she cannot resign at this juncture," Surat Police Commissioner R B Brahmbhatt said.

Yadav's action had led to the registration of an FIR and arrest of Prakash Kanani and two of his friends for alleged violation of lockdown and curfew norms in Surat city.

The arrests came after a video of a heated exchange between them and Yadav, who pulled up the trio for violation of curfew, surfaced on social media. The trio was later released on bail.

Since the incident, Yadav is being hailed on social media.

While some social media users called her "Lady Singham" (referring to the tough cop in the Hindi film "Singham"), some suggested she contest the 2022 state Assembly polls against Kumar Kanani, who represents Varachha constituency in Surat district.
