Bengaluru was shocked when a tech professional murders wife, packed her body into a suitcase, and escaped the city. The accused, 36-year-old Rakesh Rajendra Khedekar, had allegedly killed his wife, Gauri Anil Sambekar, at their rented home in Doddakammanahalli. He tried to kill himself later in Pune but was arrested by the police. This incident raises serious concerns about the lengths a tech professional might go to in a moment of rage.
- The couple would have frequent fights, which were reported by the neighbours.
- Rakesh fled to Pune after disposing of the body.
- Police tracked him using mobile signals and arrested him in Maharashtra’s Satara district.
Troubled Marriage Ends in Tragedy
Police are convinced marital disputes might have driven the victim to commit the ghastly act. Rakesh phoned his father after the killing, owning up to the crime. His father contacted the police, who traced his location.
- Cause of Death: Strangulation is indicated by preliminary reports, but forensic evidence is pending.
- Motive: Marital discord and domestic disputes.
- Legal Action: Rakesh has been arrested on IPC sections for murder and tampering with evidence.
A Wake-Up Call on Domestic Violence
This case also points out the dangers of unresolved conflicts in relationships. Professionals ask people in distress to go for counseling and legal advice rather than turning violent. Bengaluru police are still investigating, and further details will be revealed as the case unfolds.
