Bengaluru Triple Murder Suspect Arrested in Puducherry After Manhunt

Police in Puducherry have apprehended two suspects, including the live-in partner of a Bengaluru-based techie, in connection with a triple murder that occurred in the Seegehalli area of K.R. Puram, Bengaluru. The arrests follow a four-day intensive manhunt launched after the victims—a 55-year-old man, his wife, and their younger daughter—were discovered dead in their apartment on the night of June 22, 2026.

The investigation moved rapidly across state lines, with investigators tracing the suspects to Puducherry following the discovery of the crime. Authorities established that the incident occurred within the K.R. Puram police station limits, leading to coordinated efforts between Bengaluru and Puducherry law enforcement to secure the suspects. Initial findings suggest the motive and exact sequence of events are still being formalized by the police as interrogation proceeds.

The swift apprehension of the accused, identified in reports including the partner of a family member, marks a critical resolution to the case that had shocked the local community in east Bengaluru. As legal proceedings commence, officials are focused on gathering forensic evidence and witness statements to ensure a robust charge sheet. The case highlights the effectiveness of inter-state police cooperation in tracking suspects fleeing the scene of a major crime.
