An elderly couple died by suicide at a Bengaluru old age home just one month after their son admitted them following domestic disputes. Krishnamurthy, 81, and Radha, 74, were found hanging in their room at the JP Nagar facility on Tuesday morning after staff forced entry.
Their son, Vijay, had moved them to the home on May 15 due to recurring family conflicts, primarily disagreements over his wife’s cooking. This marked the second time Vijay institutionalized his parents; he previously housed them in a Byatarayanapura facility in 2021 before bringing them home in 2023.
Old age home supervisor Shobha noted the couple argued over TV preferences Monday evening but seemed otherwise settled. Staff suspect the clash was a trigger, though prolonged emotional distress and feelings of abandonment likely contributed. Police registered an Unnatural Death Report as investigations continue.
