According to police, Veerarjuna Vijay (31), who was a software engineer by profession, wife Hymavathi (29), two-and-half year old elder daughter Moksha Meghanayana and eight-month-old second daughter Shrusti Sunayana were found dead at their home in Sathya Sai Layout of Whitefield area. The incident happened on July 31 but came to light only on August 03. Case registered and further investigation underway, S. Girish, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Whitefield Division, Bengaluru said.
Police got information about the incident from Hymavathi's brother when there was no contact between him and Vijay for the last 3 days. Hemavati's brother reached Vijay's house on Thursday and found the door locked from the inside but no one opened it even after several attempts. Fearing something wrong, Hemavati's brother called the police.
When the police reached the house and broke open the door, Vijay's body was found hanging from the fan and Hymavathi and their daughters' bodies were lying in the room.
The police is yet to ascertain the reason for this murder as no suicide note was found in the house. Vijay and Hymavathi were married for 6 years and according to family members, Vijay was facing some financial crisis for past few days. The police is investigating the matter.
