A man from Bengaluru was strangled to death by his mother, her lover and four of the lover’s friends after he objected to her extramarital relationship.
Police said that when Vijay came to know about their relationship, he objected to it. The couple allegedly continued their relationship secretly and eventually plotted to kill him, believing he was an obstacle.
The incident occurred in Karnataka’s Belagavi district. The victim has been identified as Vijay Narayan, a resident of RT Nagar in Bengaluru. His mother, Meena Narayan, worked as a manager at a beauty parlour and reportedly developed a relationship with Maharashtra-based Rakesh Jamuni, whom she had employed as her driver. The couple allegedly continued their relationship secretly and eventually plotted to kill him, believing he was an obstacle. Vijay was strangled to death using a Karnataka flag. Police cracked the case using the victim’s mobile phone call detail records, which helped investigators uncover the alleged conspiracy and the involvement of his own mother. Police have arrested six accused: Meena, Rakesh and his four friends, identified as Sachin, Manoj, Tammanna and Eknath.
His body was found in an isolated area beside a highway on November 1, Karnataka Rajyotsava Day.
