Bengaluru police are exploring a new lead in a six-year-old girl's murder: her mother and her alleged partner were undergoing IVF procedures. The mother, Priyanka, was arrested after a week-long search. Investigators are probing if plans for a new family influenced the tragic events.

Mother of five-year-old Vennela, advocate Priyanka, has been arrested in connection with her daughter's death. Her live-in partner, the prime accused, had confessed to assaulting and smothering the child. Investigators are probing Priyanka's involvement, the motive, and whether her alleged dissatisfaction with her daughter's complexion played a role. The father's complaint highlighted contradictory accounts of the events.

Belagavi police have cracked the suspicious death of ex-serviceman Sandeep Manjaragi, who died in hospital after a minor bike accident. His wife, Suma, and her lover, Pundalik Dombar, allegedly conspired to murder him, fearing his recovery would expose their affair and jeopardize his Rs 2 crore insurance payout. Hospital staff are also suspected of involvement.
