On Wednesday morning, the bodies of a woman and her five children were discovered in Bhutanal Lake, near Vijayapura district in Karnataka. According to Deputy Superintendent of Police Nagaraj, the victim's husband reported a heated argument with his wife on August 23 (Sunday). The man, residing in Toravi's Shanti Nagar, stated that he intended to sleep outside while his wife and children slept indoors.
However, upon waking at 5am on Monday, he discovered the woman and four children missing from their home. The man traveled to Vijayapura to check on his 12-year-old son, who attends a residential school for children with hearing and speech disabilities, only to be informed by the school that his wife had taken the child with her.
Upon failing to locate his wife and children in Toravi and Vijayapura, the man sought assistance from the rural police station in Toravi on Monday. Nagaraj confirmed that preliminary investigations revealed a woman and her five children among the deceased, though the exact cause of their deaths remains unclear. The police have launched a comprehensive search, examining missing persons complaints in surrounding police stations to identify the bodies.
A case has been registered under the Adarsh Nagar police station's jurisdiction, with an investigation underway to uncover the truth behind these tragic events.
