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.
