Belagavi: Inspired by the Kannada film ‘Drishyam’, a man is said to have been hacked to death by his own wife, daughter and her lover who allegedly stood in the way of an extramarital affair.
The victim, Sudhir Bhagwanadas Kamble (57), a real estate agent in the camp area of the city was killed by his own family, police said.
His wife Rohini Sudhir Kamble, daughter Sneha and her lover Akash Mahadev V, a resident of Pune, have been arrested for murder, they added.
Sudhir Kamble was hacked to death with a weapon in the early hours of September 17. He was working in Dubai and had returned to India two years ago during the COVID pandemic.
According to police, Rohini was having an extramarital affair which Sudhir objected to. He was also opposed to his daughter’s romantic relationship. Thus, a plot was hatched to eliminate him.
Both mother and daughter asked for Akash’s help.
On the night of the crime, Rohini had given sleeping pills to her son who was at home. Akash arrived at Sudhir’s house on September 16, and in the middle of the night Sudhir was killed. Inspired by the movie ‘Drishyam’, they attempted to destroy the evidence of their crime.
