Bengaluru, November 8: A police constable, identified as Kishore D, 32, allegedly strangled his 24-year-old wife, Prathiba, to death in a fit of jealousy near Hoskote, Bengaluru. The tragedy unfolded when Kishore, stationed at the Chamarajanagar East police station in Ramasamudra, Chamarajanagar, travelled approximately 230 km from Chamarajanagar town to his wife's parental house near Hoskote.
Allegedly suspecting his wife's character, he made around 150 distressing calls to her, which remained unanswered. According to the Times of India report, his wife, Prathiba, 24, had recently given birth to a baby boy at her parental home in Kalathur village, near Hoskote. The tension escalated when Kishore called his wife and engaged in a heated argument the previous evening, November 5. Subsequently, Prathiba's distressed mother intervened and advised her daughter not to answer his repeated calls.

Prathiba's mother, Venkatalakshmamma, who was at home during the horrific incident, attempted to intervene but was met with a closed door. After persistent knocking, Kishore eventually opened the door 15 minutes later and uttered the chilling words, "I killed her, I killed her," before fleeing the scene.
