Bengaluru techie murders wife: How a friend’s claim of 'divorce notice' sparked trigger | Bengaluru News - The Times of India
Police probing the murder of a 39-year-old assistant bank manager with Union Bank of India are searching for an alleged divorce notice that the deceased, Bhuvaneshwari, was said to have sent to her husband, the accused Balamurugan, 40. According to Magadi Road police, Balamurugan claimed he was enraged after learning that Bhuvaneshwari had sent him a divorce notice, which he said led him to shoot her. However, police have so far been unable to trace any such notice. Police initially suspected it may have been sent digitally, but no evidence supporting this claim was found on the accused’s phone. Balamurugan reportedly told police that he came to know about the alleged divorce notice through a friend who was also acquainted with Bhuvaneshwari.
