Siblings found dead under mysterious circumstances in Bengaluru
Bengaluru, Nov 22: Two minor siblings were found dead under mysterious circumstances at their residence here on Thursday in a case of murder, police said on Friday.
Shubham (7) and Siya (3) were allegedly strangled to death with a rope, according to police.
The children's father, Sunil Kumar Sahoo, has accused his wife, Mamata, of "killing the children due to a marital dispute."
Sahoo, a 30-year-old auto driver from Jharkhand, discovered his children’s bodies when he returned home in Subramanyapura around 9.30 pm on Thursday. He immediately rushed his children and his wife, who sustained a minor neck injury, to the hospital.
In his complaint, Sahoo claimed that his wife, frustrated and depressed due to their ongoing marital issues, killed the children. However, Mamata has denied any involvement in the crime, and police said she was at home during the incident.
CCTV footage reviewed by police confirmed that the father was not present at the time of the incident.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Lokesh B Jagalasar, citing preliminary investigations, said the children were strangled to death with a rope. There are conflicting claims from both parents regarding who was responsible for the murders. A case of murder has been registered, and the investigation is ongoing.
"The mother, who has a minor neck injury, is receiving treatment at the hospital. It remains to be seen whether the injury is self-inflicted or caused by another person," Jagalasar said.
"Initial findings suggest that the murder may be linked to the marital dispute, which was known to neighbours and relatives. However, the investigation is ongoing, and all claims are being thoroughly examined," he added.
Police are awaiting technical and forensic reports to further investigate the incident. No arrests have been made yet, as the mother is still hospitalised.

Cristiano Ronaldo scores his 100th Saudi Pro League goal
Riyadh (AP): Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 100th Saudi Pro League goal as Al-Nassr beat Al-Shabab 4-2 to move five points clear at the top of the table.
The 41-year-old forward converted a Sadio Mané cross at the near post with 15 minutes remaining to record the 971st goal of his career on Thursday. It was also his 26th league goal of the season.
“Ronaldo is always dangerous going forward and we saw that again today,” Al-Nassr coach Jorge Jesus said.
João Félix, signed from Chelsea in July, scored three goals for the league leaders.
The win took Al-Nassr to 82 points from 32 games, five ahead of Al-Hilal, which has three matches, one more than Nassr, left to play. Al-Hilal meets Al-Kholood on Friday and faces Nassr on Tuesday in what could be a title decider against its Riyadh rival.
“Now we have a derby match against our rival, which is a difficult encounter,” Jesus said.
“We are fully aware of its importance, and we are dealing with it with complete focus as we know that small details could decide the result.”
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, has yet to secure a major trophy in Saudi Arabia since signing with Al-Nassr in December 2022.
