Three members of family hailing from Udupi found dead in their Bengaluru residence
Bengaluru: In an incident reported on Wednesday in J.P. Nagar, the charred remains of three family members were discovered in their residence. The deceased, identified as Sukanya (48) and her sons Nikhit (28) and Nikshit (28), hailed from Ambalapadi in Udupi.
The tragedy occurred in their home located in the third phase of J.P. Nagar, Bengaluru. Initial investigations by South Division Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Sivaprakash Devaraju suggest that financial difficulties may have driven the mother to commit suicide along with her sons.
Sukanya's husband, Jayananda, had been running his own business, which suffered losses during the COVID-19 lockdown. To cope with the financial strain, Sukanya had taken on the responsibility of providing tuition while also grappling with mounting debts. Adding to their challenges, one of their sons had discontinued his employment several months ago. Jayananda's health issues further compounded their difficulties, leaving him bedridden.

The tragic events unfolded when Sukanya reportedly locked herself and her sons in the hall after attending to her husband's needs in the morning. The discovery of electric cables attached to their hands raised suspicions, prompting an investigation into the circumstances of their deaths. While the exact cause of death remains under scrutiny, authorities await the results of post-mortem examinations to shed light on the tragic incident.
DCP Shivaprakash Devaraju emphasized the importance of awaiting the post-mortem findings to ascertain whether the deaths were indeed a result of suicide or if other factors were at play.

Power struggle in ruling Cong has 'created massive confusion' in Karnataka: BJP leader Ashoka
Bengaluru (PTI): BJP leader R Ashoka on Friday claimed that the ongoing power struggle between Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his deputy D K Shivakumar has created massive confusion in Karnataka.
He remarked that the proverb “when two people fight, the third one benefits” has come true, as AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge is also now making efforts to become Chief Minister.
Speaking to reporters here, Ashoka said the entire government has turned into a house of confusion due to the alleged power tussle.
Kharge’s new statement has only added to the chaos, he said.
Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge had on Friday said that no date has been fixed yet to discuss possible leadership change in Karnataka.
This came a day after Kharge said there was no change of CM in Karnataka "for now" and that the leadership issue in the state would be resolved soon.
The BJP leader said that Kharge too has aspirations and that he was cheated earlier.
"Perhaps he has received a green signal from the Congress high command to become CM. Everyone is already saying Kharge should become CM. Kharge himself has declared, “I am ready to become CM.” Despite many attempts in the past, he never became CM. Now he is trying to seize the opportunity," the Leader of Opposition in the state assembly said.
According to him, the situation in Congress has perfectly become a case of “two people fighting, third one benefits.”
