In a stunning twist of fate, former Karnataka DGP Om Prakash's wife has been accused of killing him inside their residence at Bengaluru's HSR Layout. Pallavi, the wife of Om Prakash, was reported to have sprayed chilli powder on her husband's face and stabbed him repeatedly with a knife, killing him.

A history of domestic conflict

The case has brought a dark past of domestic unrest between Om Prakash and his wife to light. Pallavi had been allegedly suffering from schizophrenia and was on medication. The couple had been engaging in quarrels over several issues, a land issue in Dandeli, Karnataka, being one of them.

From the police statement by Pallavi, it is gathered that the two had been at each other's throats from Sunday morning about certain matters. Om Prakash was said to have threatened his wife and daughter with a firearm, prompting the couple to fight a fierce duel. In the statement, Pallavi alleged that they were engaging in a survival battle and used chilli powder for self-defence.

The investigation unfolds

The police have arrested Pallavi and their daughter and are questioning them. The police have filed a case against Pallavi on the basis of her statement and other evidence. The police are investigating, and they are investigating the role of the daughter in the murder.

A complex case

The case has raised a number of complicated questions, such as the motive for the murder and the involvement of the daughter. The police are trying to reconstruct the events that led up to the murder and establish the circumstances of the murder.
