The wife and daughter of slain former Karnataka DGP Om Prakash have been booked on murder charges, following a complaint from the deceased officer’s son that he “strongly” suspected the role of the two women in his father’s killing, police said on Monday. The retired IPS officer was found dead in a pool of blood in his HSR Layout residence in Bengaluru on Sunday afternoon.

Police arrested Om Prakash’s wife Pallavi and daughter Kriti in connection with the incident. In his complaint, Om Prakash’s son Kartikesh alleged that Pallavi had been threatening to kill his father for the past one week. “Due to these threats, my father had gone to stay at his sister’s house,” he stated.
