Elderly couple ends life in Bengaluru after being sent to old age home by son


Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru

Bengaluru, June 25: In a tragic incident reported from JP Nagar 8th Phase in Bengaluru, an elderly couple took their own lives allegedly after being disheartened by their son sending them to an old age home.

The deceased have been identified as Krishnamurthy (81) and Radha (74).

According to sources, the couple had previously requested their son to arrange a separate house due to incompatibility with their daughter-in-law. However, in 2021, the son admitted them to an old age home in Byatarayanapura. They were brought back home in 2023 but continued to face difficulties in adjusting to family life.

Last month, the son once again admitted them to an old age home in Banashankari Nagar. Reportedly upset by this, the couple allegedly hanged themselves at the old age home on Monday night.

Talaghattapura police have registered a case of unnatural death and are investigating. Staff at the old age home stated that the couple had recently had a disagreement over watching television.

    Easier said then done. Only if both hands come together there will be a clap.

    May no parent ever have to see such a day—these days, putting parents in old age homes has become somewhat of a fashion. But no parent, or anyone else, truly wants to live in an old age home. Today, a son has placed his parents in an old age home, but one day, that same old age home might be his fate as well. Rest in peace to the deceased.
