In a shocking case that has sent ripples through Bengaluru, a man's elaborate attempt to pass off his wife's murder as a bathroom accident has been foiled by alert police investigators. The accused, identified as Naveen Kumar, initially claimed his 32-year-old wife Kavya died after slipping and hitting her head in their bathroom.
The Suspicious Circumstances
According to police reports, the incident occurred on December 7th at their residence in Bengaluru's Chikkasandra area. Naveen rushed his wife to a private hospital where he maintained that she had suffered a fatal head injury from a bathroom fall. However, medical professionals immediately noticed discrepancies between the nature of her injuries and Naveen's account of the incident.
Investigation Reveals Chilling Truth
"The injuries were inconsistent with a simple fall," explained a senior police officer involved in the case. "There were multiple injury marks that suggested a more violent altercation." This discovery prompted hospital authorities to alert the police, setting in motion a thorough investigation that would unravel Naveen's carefully constructed story.
The Unraveling of a Web of Lies
As detectives dug deeper, several crucial pieces of evidence emerged that contradicted Naveen's version of events:
- Forensic evidence indicated the injuries couldn't have resulted from a simple bathroom fall
- Witness accounts suggested ongoing marital discord between the couple
- Physical evidence at the crime scene didn't match the accused's description
- Timeline inconsistencies raised questions about Naveen's actions immediately following the incident
Confession and Arrest
Faced with mounting evidence, Naveen eventually broke down and confessed to the crime. He admitted to murdering his wife during a heated argument and then staging the scene to make it appear like an accidental death. The Chikkasandra police have since arrested him and charged him with murder.
A Community in Shock
Neighbors and acquaintances of the couple expressed disbelief, describing them as a "normal married couple" who showed no outward signs of serious domestic trouble. The case has highlighted how domestic violence can often remain hidden behind closed doors, only coming to light through tragic circumstances.
The investigation continues as police work to build a comprehensive case against the accused, ensuring that justice is served for Kavya, whose life was tragically cut short by someone she trusted most.
