Overview
- RR Nagar police arrested 42-year-old Venkatesh on Wednesday after his mother died from a fall off their building’s terrace in BEML Layout.
- Investigators say he carried his long-paralysed, bedridden mother to the roof and pushed her, and they report he confessed that he “could not bear her suffering.”
- Officers registered a murder case and sent the body for post-mortem, while confirming the wife was at work when the incident occurred.
- The probe now examines whether money pressures played a role, and police have requested a psychiatric evaluation of the accused.
- Reports differ on the victim’s exact age and the floor count, but all agree she had been bedridden for four to five years and that the act occurred at the terrace level.
