Stunning revelations have surfaced in the murder case of Karnataka's former Director General of Police (DGP) Om Prakash. His wife confessed to the crime, and their daughter is accused of being involved. The former DGP's son filed an FIR accusing his mother and sister of his father's murder. New details reveal that when Om Prakash was stabbed, he was sitting at the dinner table enjoying a variety of fish. Sources report that Pallavi, his wife, allegedly started an argument and suddenly attacked him with a knife. Nearby, a plate of food lay abandoned as Om Prakash was found bleeding on the dining hall floor.
Crime scene images also indicated signs of a struggle. According to sources, after the murder, Pallavi and her daughter locked themselves in a room. Pallavi called the police post-attack and confessed to the killing. Upon arrival at the three-story home, officers found Om Prakash's body on the ground floor. Meanwhile, his daughter Kriti locked herself in a room, causing a disturbance. Despite numerous requests, she refused to open the door, leading police to break it down and take her into custody.

Meanwhile, Om Prakash’s son, Kartikesh, lodged an FIR implicating his mother Pallavi and sister Kriti in the murder. According to the FIR, Pallavi suffers from schizophrenia and has been receiving treatment for the past 12 years. Police have registered a case under sections BNS 103, 103(1)(3)(5) against the accused. The FIR claims Pallavi was often fearful that Om Prakash might harm her. Acquaintances of Om Prakash corroborate this, stating he frequently felt endangered by his family.
Inspector's Final Conversation Before the Murder
Inspector Srinivas, assigned to VIP security, noted that Om Prakash and his wife shared a strained relationship. According to Srinivas, 'He (the former DGP) called me at 3:05 PM and spoke very calmly and clearly. I offered to visit, but he immediately said... do not come... madam is home. His murder was incredibly brutal. Madam never allowed anyone to visit the home, and I was unaware of their domestic issues. Sir seemed mentally distressed, repeatedly telling me about the considerable expenses for his wife's treatment. Unable to meet or communicate with others, he was frustrated by his wife’s conduct.'

Currently, the police are investigating all possible motives behind the murder. Sources suggest disputes over property might be involved, as the couple had conflicts regarding land in Dandeli, Karnataka. Months ago, Pallavi attempted to file a complaint at the HSR Layout Police Station but resorted to staging a protest after her complaint went unregistered. Police are actively questioning the accused. The 68-year-old retired IPS officer Om Prakash was appointed DGP of Karnataka in 2015.

Investigators Seize Phones from Deceased and Suspects
Police have confiscated the mobile phones of the deceased and both accused individuals. Statements have been recorded from three individuals concerning the case. Sources indicate Pallavi initially claimed self-defense, alleging that her husband, former DGP Om Prakash, roamed the house with a firearm. During a minor argument, she alleged, he threatened her with the gun, prompting her to stab him with a knife. Pallavi herself reported the incident to the police.
8-10 Stab Wounds Found, Excessive Blood Loss Caused Death
Pallavi reported her statement to the Madivala Assistant Police Commissioner. However, sources revealed Om Prakash had confided in senior officers several times about enduring torture from his wife. Initial investigations showed Om Prakash sustained multiple stab wounds—around 8-10 to the chest, abdomen, and arms. Several wounds in the abdominal area led to significant blood loss, causing his death. Bloodstains across the dining hall floor indicate a struggle lasting 15-20 minutes. As Om Prakash writhed in agony, his wife Pallavi allegedly watched helplessly. Following his death, she reportedly called a senior IPS officer to inform them about the murder.
