Man held for killing wife with rolling pin in Bengaluru

Parents of Sahasra killed in Kukatpally stage a sit-in, in front of Kukatpally police station on Saturday, August 23, 2025.

Bengaluru: A man has been arrested for allegedly assaulting his wife with a rolling pin, resulting in her death, police said on Tuesday.

Preeti Singh (28) and her husband Chota Lal Singh (32), originally from Madhya Pradesh, have been residing with their two children in Chokkasandra. The couple was working in a private company, they said.

The husband, who was employed as a helper at the company, allegedly subjected his wife to frequent mental and physical harassment without reason.

On September 24, when the wife returned home in the afternoon for lunch, the husband, as usual, picked a quarrel and attacked her with a rolling pin used for making chapatis, striking her severely on the head and body.

Later, the injured wife was taken to a hospital in T Dasarahalli, where the husband tried to conceal the assault and informed the doctors that his wife had fallen from a building, they added.

The couple’s two children went to the owner of the company where their mother was employed and disclosed that their father had assaulted their mother.

The owner of the company then lodged a complaint at Peenya police station, following which the accused was taken into custody for questioning. During interrogation, he confessed to brutally assaulting his wife with a rolling pin, a police officer said.

He was formally arrested and produced before the Court the same day, which remanded him to judicial custody.

On October 2, while undergoing treatment, the wife succumbed to her injuries, police said.

The Karnataka High Court dismissed chief minister Siddaramaiah’s petition on Tuesday, September 24, challenging Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot’s approval for an investigation into the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) site allotment case. In a single judge bench, Justice M Nagaprasanna stated that an investigation was necessary and affirmed the governor’s authority to make an independent decision. The court found no evidence of the Governor’s non-application of mind in the matter. The chief minister challenged the approval given by the Governor for an investigation against him in the alleged irregularities in the allotment of 14 sites to his wife by the MUDA in a prime locality. “The facts narrated in the petition would undoubtedly require investigation, in the teeth of the fact that the beneficiary of all these acts is not anybody outside but the family of the petitioner. The petition stands dismissed,” Justice Nagaprasanna ruled, adding, “interim order of any kind subsistin...

Bengaluru: Bus conductor fails to return Rs 1; court orders BMTC to pay Rs 3K as compensation

Image
The Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) was recently ordered to pay a man Rs 2,000 in compensation after he was denied Rs 1 change for a bus ride by the Bengaluru Urban District Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission. According to several media reports, in 2019, a man named Ramesh Naik went on a BMTC bus from Shantinagar to Majestic bus depot, during which the conductor issued a ticket for Rs 29. The complainant paid Rs 30 and was not given the change. Keeping up the fight, Naik then complained about the conductor to BMTC’s high authorities. To his surprise, the authorities made fun of him and drove him away. Unhappy with this, he filed a complaint with the local consumer court, asking Rs 15,000 in compensation. The court has now ordered the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) to pay the guy Rs 2,000 in compensation. The court also ordered BMTC to pay Rs 1,000 towards the complainant’s legal expenses. “It is the customer’s right to receive the balan...
