A man who runs medical labs in Bengaluru and Shivamogga allegedly murdered his wife by poisoning her food at Devarunda in Mudigere taluk of Chikkamagaluru.
Darshan D.B., the accused, allegedly murdered his wife Shwetha, 32, on Monday, December 11, and tried to term it death due to a heart attack. However, Shwetha’s parents intervened and succeeded in stopping the funeral the next day. They found her death suspicious and filed a case with the Gonibeed Police. The accused had an extramarital affair, which led to differences between the husband and wife.
Following the complaint, the police sent the body for a post-mortem in Chikkamagaluru. The police took Darshan into custody.
