The case came to light on November 9, when Karthik Bhat (32), a resident of Pakshikere, was found dead on a railway track after reportedly killing his wife Priyanka (28) and their four-year-old son Hriday.
In a death note recovered from the crime scene, Karthik alleged that harassment by his mother and sister had driven him to take the extreme step. Based on a complaint filed by Priyanka’s mother, the Mulki police had arrested Shyamala Bhat and Kanmani Rao and presented them before the Moodbidri court.
Advocate Sharath Shetty, representing the accused, filed a bail application in the District Sessions Court. After hearing the arguments, the court granted bail to both accused on Saturday.
