Daijiworld Media Network – Mangaluru

Mangaluru, Nov 9: In a shocking incident, a man was found dead on the railway track in Bellayuru village under the jurisdiction of Mulki police station. The unidentified man reportedly ended his life by placing his head on the track. During the investigation, police recovered a scooter key and house keys near the body.

The police traced the scooter to a location near the Mahammayi Temple in Bellayuru village. The vehicle, was identified as belonging to Karthik Bhat based on the RC, insurance documents, and a driving license found inside.

Further inquiry led the police to Karthik Bhat's residence in Pakshikere, Kemral village. Upon entering the house, they discovered a locked room. Using the keys found on the railway track, they unlocked the room and were met with a gruesome scene. The bodies of a woman and a child, later identified as Priyanka (28) and Hriday (4), were found lying in a pool of blood, indicating they had been brutally murdered.

Preliminary investigations suggest that Karthik Bhat, troubled by ongoing family disputes, committed the murders on the evening of November 8 before taking his own life by jumping in front of a train. A death note was found in his diary, which indicated his intent.

The deceased woman’s parents, residents of Shivamogga, were informed of the incident over the phone. The couple had been married for six years, and police are now in the process of formally recording the case based on statements from the family.

The investigation into the case is in progress.

    Please don't spread gossips or bad rumours about the dead wife Priyanka. Karthik was upset because of his parents. Karthik's parents plus Karthik's wife and child all five ppl were staying in one house. Misbehavior of the Karthik's parents made karthik to take this drastic step. Karthik's parents were not aware of the dead bodies in their own house until police came and informed them. In the death note, Karthik mentioned about the same thing because of his parents behaviour he is taking this step and also he mentioned that , his father should not perform the final rites of the dead bodies instead he requested wife's parents from Shimoga to do the same. Please don't write unwanted matters about any woman which is not true. These are the real facts what I mentioned. If anyone writes such cheap rumours about your family if such things happen (God forbid) will you write the same thing about your wife/daughter/daughter in law/mother/sister? How you would be going through?

    Kathik Bhat's wife is really a bad lady... She tortured him a lot. She misused women centric laws to corner him. This case is an example of "bad side of women appeasement"

    One should remember that the new laws ( BNS instead of IPC - thanks to Modiji) are gender neutral. If both men and women know about this the divorce rates, false allegations , deaths and extortion will go down. Government both center and state should enlighten people about this.

    Rest in peace the 3 innocent beautiful souls. To be frank in a society everything can not be 100% perfect. Here and there sometimes things like goes on. That is the reason these news channels existed. Nobody knows exactly what hd happened. It hurts a lot and aches my heart a lot when a small child is mercilessly killed for the infighting of its parents. That child has not seen this beautiful world which is very very large.

    Result of gossips, rumours and slandering remarks due to enmity, envy and jealousy. This divides the family relationship and breaks the family union and trust.

    Karthik Bhat seems to be a very handsome man, but no matter what the problems in family life were, there was no need to kill his wife and children. He could have left them and lived in peace alone; there was no need to take his own life either. There is a solution to every problem. After doing all this, what was gained? The destruction of a beautiful family. Such a gruesome incident in front of parents would have plunged them into a sea of sorrow.
