The Bengaluru police have reported that a 37-year-old man murdered his wife and turned himself in, stating that he was devastated by the constant accusations of theft against her and his inability to repay a loan. The man confessed that he had contemplated taking his own life but lacked the courage to do so.

Despite their relocation, the woman continued to be labeled a thief by certain individuals who were aware of their situation, as per a police officer.
