A tragic incident has unfolded in Bengaluru, where a man allegedly killed his wife before taking his own life. The deceased, identified as Sumant Jain, a civil engineer, and his wife Padmavati, a software engineer, were found dead in their residence. According to police, the couple had an altercation that turned violent, resulting in Sumant allegedly hitting Padmavati on the face and suffocating her with a pillow.
When he attempted to wake her and realized she was not breathing, Sumant reportedly panicked and called his mother, informing her of the situation via a message. Upon receiving the message, Sumant’s mother contacted the landlord, who then opened the house to find the couple’s lifeless bodies. Sumant was found hanging from a ceiling fan in the hall, while Padmavati’s body was also discovered.
During the dispute last Wednesday, Sumant allegedly hit Padmavati on the face and suffocated her with a pillow. Police said on Saturday that a case has been registered, and an investigation is underway. Police are still working to determine the exact cause of Padmavati’s death and the precise sequence of events leading to both deaths.
