BENGALURU: A case has been registered against the wife and daughter of former Karnataka Director General of Police (DGP) Om Prakash , who was murdered at his residence in HSR Layout on Sunday evening. The action follows a complaint filed by his son, Kartikesh, police said.
"Due to these threats, my father had gone to stay at his sister Sarita Kumari's house," he stated.
"Two days ago, my younger sister Kriti went to Kumari's house and pressured my father Om Prakash, to return home. She brought him back against his will," Kartikesh alleged.
In his complaint, Kartikesh alleged that his mother, Pallavi, had been threatening to kill his father for the past week. On Sunday, around 5 pm, while Kartikesh was at the Karnataka Golf Association in Domlur, a neighbour, Jayashree Sridharan, called to inform him that his father was found lying unconscious downstairs.
"I rushed home (located in HSR Layout) and found police officers and people present on the spot. My father was lying in a pool of blood with injuries on his head and body. A broken bottle and a knife were there next to his body. He was then taken to St John's Hospital," he explained.
Kartikesh said, "My mother Pallavi and my sister Kriti used to fight with my father often. I strongly suspect that they are involved in the murder of my father. I request to initiate legal action in this case."
Following an investigation, the police arrested both Pallavi and the couple's daughter, Kriti, in connection with the case.
Om Prakash, 68, was a retired IPS officer and a native of Champaran, Bihar. He held a Master's degree in Geology and was appointed as the DGP of Karnataka on March 1, 2015.
Police said further investigation is underway to determine the motive and sequence of events that led to the alleged murder.
