The second wife has a daughter and Narayanswamy had asked Manikanta not to go in for divorce. When the couple did not agree, Narayanswamy had said that he would give some of his property to his daughter-in-law and granddaughter to manage their lives after divorce. But Manikanta did not like his father’s decision and gave money to his friends to kill his father.

The Marathahalli police have registered a case.

According to plan, on February 13, Manikanta’s friends killed his father right in front of him. Later, Manikanta cremated him. A case has been registered at the Marathahalli police station and the police have arrested three accused. Further investigation is under way.
