Sachin filed a missing person’s complaint with Mico Layout police in the southeast division on August 26. He claimed that his son had gone missing from his friend’s house on February 7.

Police immediately suspected him as no parent would wait for six months to complain about his/her missing child.

Further enquiries, revealed that Kumar was having an extramarital affair with Nadia. Also, Kumar stated that his son went missing from his friend’s house but his friend told the police that the kid never came to his house.

After Sindhu returned home, Kumar and Nadiya confessed to her about the crime. Kumar requested Sindhu to protect him and promised he wouldn’t be involved with Nadia. Sindhu agreed to keep the matter a secret.

The trio then covered the body in bedsheets and bundled it into a car Kumar borrowed from his friend and drove to forests near Bargur in Tamil Nadu. The body was disposed of there.
