32-year-old Bengaluru engineer kills techie wife, dies by suicide after fight: Police

A civil engineer in his 30s took the lives of his wife and himself in Bengaluru, according to police. The tragic incident occurred on Friday after a heated argument between the couple. Deputy Commissioner of Police (north west) D L Nagesh stated that frequent disputes between the couple had strained their relationship. The 32-year-old engineer, originally from Belthangady, was working at a private company in Nandini Layout when he killed his 29-year-old tech professional wife, originally from Hubballi.

The couple had recently moved into a rented apartment in Laggere. In the days leading up to the incident, the husband's frequent absences for work and the ownership of the house were sources of contention. On Friday morning, a heated argument broke out, which eventually led to the husband strangling his wife. Later that day, he hanged himself in the same house.

A WhatsApp voice message sent by the husband to his mother, in which he mentioned his intention to die and the dispute over the house, is being investigated.
