Man arrested for allegedly murdering wife over suspicion of affair in Bengaluru
Bengaluru: A 31-year-old man named Siddarama has been arrested by the Madanayakanahalli Police on charges of murdering his wife, Kokila, after an alleged domestic dispute rooted in suspicions of infidelity. The incident took place in Gangondanahalli, located on the outskirts of Bengaluru.
The police arrested Siddarama at Soladevanahalli Railway Station while he was reportedly on a religious pilgrimage following the murder. Married for seven years, Siddarama and Kokila have a six-year-old son.
The crime came to light on October 29, when Kokila’s father, who resides nearby, discovered her lifeless body at the couple’s residence. He subsequently lodged a complaint, and the Madanayakanahalli Police initiated an investigation.
During the inquiry, police found Siddarama missing from the scene. The post-mortem report confirmed that Kokila had died due to strangulation, leading investigators to search for Siddarama. Authorities tracked him down after he took Kokila’s phone with him, using it to trace his location to Soladevanahalli.
Under police questioning, Siddarama reportedly confessed to the crime, stating that he had visited Dharmasthala, a well-known pilgrimage site in Dakshina Kannada, before committing the act. To avoid detection, he had shaved his head after the murder. According to police sources, Siddarama admitted to using a veil to strangle his wife, which he later disposed of.

UP man dies by suicide in Bengaluru, leaving behind 24 page death note
Bengaluru, Dec 9: A 34-year-old man from Uttar Pradesh died by hanging himself from the ceiling at his residence on Monday, police said.
Atul Subhash, who worked in a private firm in Bengaluru, left behind a 24-page death note alleging harassment by his wife and her relatives, they added.
The incident occurred in the Manjunath Layout area, which falls under the Marathahalli police station limits, police said.
Preliminary investigations revealed that Subhash had been facing marital discord with his wife, and she had registered a case against him in Uttar Pradesh, a senior police officer said.
He also sent his death note via email to several people and shared it with a WhatsApp group of an NGO he was associated with, the officer said.
According to the police, Subhash hung a placard in his house that read "Justice is due".
Before taking the extreme step, he allegedly pasted important details on a cupboard, including information about his death note, vehicle keys, and a list of tasks he had completed and those still pending, the officer said.
"A case will be registered in connection with the death once his family files a complaint. A detailed investigation is underway," he added.
