Police in Bengaluru are investigating the deaths of a 35-year-old private company employee and his five-year-old son, who were found deceased at their residence in Gudde Basavapura on Monday morning. The victims have been identified as Abhinandan and his son Yaduveer. The incident came to light after Abhinandan's wife, Harini, contacted the police helpline, stating she found her husband and son unresponsive upon waking. Responding officers discovered both father and son dead at the scene. Their bodies have been sent for postmortem examination, with initial observations noting minor injury marks but no major external trauma. The exact cause of death is pending the postmortem report. The investigation intensified when Abhinandan's mother filed a complaint alleging murder, leading police to register a murder case. Senior police officers noted suspicious circumstances at the residence. Investigators are examining seized mobile phones for digital evidence and reviewing CCTV footage, though they are investigating why the footage may not have been properly saved. Family members, including the wife, are being questioned as part of the probe.
