BENGALURU: A teenager, along with four friends, all minor boys, allegedly murdered her 34-year-old mother and staged it as a suicide at her residence in Bengaluru. The family of the 17-year-old class 9 dropout grew suspicious and alerted police, who got her to confess.
According to police, the girl and her friends murdered Netravathi after she filed a police complaint against them. "Four are aged between 16 and 17, and are school dropouts, while one is a 13-year-old boy in class 7, who is on the run," said a senior police officer.
Netravathi was opposed to her daughter's relationship with a 17-year-old. On Oct 20, the four juveniles went to the girl's house and assaulted Netravathi and her partner, Ravi Kumar. They allegedly threatened the couple and took Rs 15,000. Netravathi then went to the police. On Oct 25, the teens allegedly strangled her with a towel. They then hanged the body from the fan with a sari.
