Bengaluru: Man kills mother and sister for 'not cooking tasty sambar'

Bengaluru: In a shocking incident, a man killed his mother and sister allegedly for not cooking tasty sambar at Kodagodu in  Uttara Kannada district.

The accused has been identified as Manjunath Haslar (24), a resident of Kodagodu. Haslar lived with his mother Parvathi Narayana Haslar( 42) and sister Ramya Narayana Haslar (19).

It is said that Manjunath, who was an alcoholic, got into an argument with his mother over the sambar that she had prepared. He complained that the sambhar was not delicious.  He also opposed his mother’s plan to buy a phone for his sister Ramya by taking a loan.

Parvathi had reportedly told Manjunath that he was no one to tell her whether to buy the cellphone for his sister.

Enraged by this, Halsar shot his mother with a country-made gun kept at their home. He later shot dead his 19-year-old sister.

The incident that took place on Wednesday came to light after the accused’s father returned home and lodged a complaint with the police against his son.
