Woman arrested in connection with six-year-old daughter's death in Bengaluru
An advocate in Bengaluru was arrested Thursday in connection with the death of her six-year-old daughter, Vennela, who died nearly three months ago. The child's father filed a complaint after suspecting foul play, leading police to exhume the body and conduct a post-mortem that revealed homicidal violence. The case has raised questions about police procedures and the initial delay in registering a formal investigation.
Kadugodi police arrested advocate P. Priyanka on Thursday in connection with the death of her six-year-old daughter, Vennela, who died approximately three months prior. Priyanka, who was living separately from her husband and in a live-in relationship with realtor G.M. Mohan, allegedly murdered the child with Mohan and attempted to conceal the death as an accident. The child's father, Praveen, filed a complaint after suspecting suspicious circumstances, prompting police to exhume the body and conduct a post-mortem examination that confirmed homicidal violence. Police had previously arrested Mohan, while Priyanka evaded capture until being tracked to Sakleshpur in Hassan district. Investigators are examining the exact motive, with initial accounts suggesting the dispute involved a disagreement over ice cream flavor. The case has drawn scrutiny of the Kadugodi police for the alleged delay in registering a formal investigation despite receiving the father's complaint.
