Bruise marks, faulty CCTV: Bengaluru man, son found dead at home, police suspect wife

Bruise marks, faulty CCTV: Bengaluru man, son found dead at home, police suspect wife

In the early hours of Monday morning, the bodies of a 38-year-old man named Abhinandan and his four-year-old son, Yaduveer Gowda, were discovered dead inside their home in North Bengaluru. Initial indications suggest that the men may have succumbed to suffocation, as there are signs of a struggle prior to their demise. Police suspect that Abhinandan's wife, Harini, may have played a role in the deaths, as she has been changing her statements.

D L Nagesh, the Deputy Commissioner of Police, noted bruise marks on Abhinandan's body and red stains found in the corridor, though the nature of the stains has yet to be confirmed. The police were unable to retrieve footage from the house's faulty CCTV system. Abhinandan's mother filed a complaint regarding the incident, leading to the registration of a murder case.

The discovery was made when Harini informed her neighbors about the tragic event. The couple, along with their son, had visited Harini's house on Sunday evening and returned after dinner. Abhinandan was born in Kunigal taluk and married Harini in 2021. Family members claim that the couple frequently argued, with Harini allegedly having an affair with another man and living separately for some time.

Harin's family, on the other hand, alleges that Abhinandan was also unfaithful to her and was once caught. Harini's parents also mentioned that he suffered from mental health issues. The Bengaluru North West police have commenced the investigation into the deaths.
