Tumakuru: Ice cream factory owner strangled, electrocuted to 'fake accident'
Tumakuru (Karnataka), May 14 (PTI): An ice cream factory owner was "strangled and later electrocuted" in an attempt to stage his death as an accident, police said on Wednesday.
The incident occurred on May 10 in Kunigal town, where 58-year-old Nagesh, a resident of Timmansandra village, was found dead inside his factory, they added.
Police said the victim’s 21-year-old son, Dhanush, and his friend were arrested in connection with the murder.
The factory owner was "killed" by his son with help from a friend, police added.
Police initially suspected that Nagesh died of electrocution, but CCTV footage from the factory contradicted this, revealing it was a premeditated murder.
Investigations revealed that Nagesh was first strangled with a towel, after which his son and friend electrocuted the body to stage it as an accident.
A murder case has been registered at Kunigal Police Station, and all possible motives are under investigation, police said.
"During interrogation, the accused son claimed his father sexually harassed his sister, which led him to plan the murder. There are also allegations of a property dispute. These claims are still under investigation, and we are probing all possible angles," police said.

Yamal misses a penalty and Barcelona''s late collapse hands Girona a 2-1 win in La Liga
Girona (Spain) (AP): Lamine Yamal missed a penalty as Barcelona lost at Girona 2-1 on Monday and passed up a chance to overtake Real Madrid at the top of La Liga.
The defeat was the second in less than a week for Barca and left it second in the table, two points behind Madrid.
A win would have taken it above its archrival but, instead, a crisis brewed for coach Hansi Flick, whose side lost to Atletico Madrid 4-0 in the Copa del Rey last week.
The second loss came even though Barcelona took the lead early in the second half.
Yamal hit the post with his spot kick on the stroke of halftime but 14 minutes into the second period Pau Cubarsí met Jules Kounde's cross from the right and placed his header perfectly into the top corner.
The goal was Barcelona's 100th in all competitions this season and made it the second club in Europe's big five domestic leagues to hit the century after Bayern Munich.
However, Girona roared back into the game just three minutes later.
Barcelona's Joan Garcia was already the busier of the two goalkeepers but he could not stop Thomas Lemar side-footing home from close range after nice work from Vladyslav Vanat on the left wing.
Both sides pushed for a decisive second and it was Girona who executed with three minutes remaining, substitute Fran Beltrán scoring with a low shot from just inside the box.
Girona's Joel Roca was sent off in the dying seconds but there were no more goals.
The victory ended a three-game winless streak for Girona and lifted it three places into 12th, equal on points with Getafe.
Only seven points separate the 11 clubs from eighth to 18th in La Liga.
