‘I have come to surrender, here is her head’: Bengaluru man beheads wife after fight over affair; rides scooter to police station with severed head | Bengaluru News
BENGALURU: Cops at Suryanagar station in Bengaluru Urban district were shocked when a young man entered their premises on a gearless scooter, with a severed head placed near his legs, in the wee hours of Saturday.Three police constables and an assistant sub-inspector, who were on night patrol, were standing outside the police station. They were scheduled to patrol in different directions and were getting ready to leave when the man stopped his vehicle near the station compound.A cop said: “We asked who he was and what had brought him to the station. In Kannada, he replied, ‘I have come to surrender. I killed my wife, and here is her head.'” The cops looked down and saw the severed head on the mat, blood spilt all over it.The drama unfolded around 1am Saturday, when M Shankar, 26, arrived at the station and said he had cut his wife S Manasa’s head following a fight over an alleged affair. Residing at Heelalige, Shankar works as an assistant manager with a battery-manufacturing unit in Bommanahalli, while Manasa, also 26, worked in a factory on the same premises. According to police, she had an affair with a colleague — now elusive — and this ended in the killing. The couple’s three-year-old daughter lives with Manasa’s parents at Hebbugodi. According to Shankar’s confession, he allegedly caught Manasa and her friend red-handed at his house on May 3 night. That day, Shankar had intentionally returned home earlier than usual. The following day, Manasa returned to her parents. However, leaving her daughter with them, she shifted to a PG accommodation near her factory.Meanwhile, Shankar approached Suryanagar police, stating his wife was missing. Police called Manasa’s phone and found her to be at the PG home. Manasa arrived at the station, and cops managed to send her back to Shankar. But the couple fought again on Friday evening, resulting in the gruesome killing, police said.“According to neighbours, they heard Shankar and Manasa fighting and later attacking each other. Shankar took the butcher’s knife from the kitchen and severed her head. He sat near the beheaded body for some time and then decided to ride to the police station,” the cop said.
